[Dev-C++] Error messages

[Noorez K. <lor...@ho...>]

What does this error message mean?  'An Access Violation (Segmentation 
Fault) Raised in you program'.  The debugger sometimes throws the error when 
I try to access a text file, eg. openTextFile.open(currentFileName).

I also get this error when I'm executing normally:

'Sml has caused an error in KERNEL32.DLL.
Sml will now close.

If you continue to experience problems,
try restarting your computer.'

I think that the problem is occurring in the same place.

Hi Noorez,
 
Usually that comes from using a null pointer.  Address 0 is mostly verboten.  An access violation during execution will probably cause the kernel error.  Possibly currentFileName isn't initialized?  Or possibly the pointer is dangling?
