terminate called after throwing an instance ofC/C++

C++: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::out_of_range' — what(): vector::_M_range_check

A C++ exception wasn’t caught anywhere, so std::terminate aborted the program. what() tells you the reason.

call of overloaded is ambiguousC/C++

C++: error: call of overloaded 'f(int)' is ambiguous

Two or more overloads fit equally well, so the compiler refuses to guess which function you meant.

cannot declare variable to be of abstract typeC/C++

C++: error: cannot declare variable 'x' to be of abstract type 'Shape' (pure virtual functions)

You tried to create an object of a class that still has pure virtual functions; only a derived class that overrides all of them c…

undefined reference to pthread_createC/C++

C/C++: undefined reference to `pthread_create' — missing -pthread (also `dlopen`, `clock_gettime`)

Your program uses threads (or another system library) but the linker was not told to link it.

pure virtual method calledC/C++

C++: pure virtual method called — terminate called without an active exception

A pure virtual function was called on an object that is being constructed or destroyed, where the derived part no longer exists.

std::bad_allocC/C++

C++: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc' — what(): std::bad_alloc

`new` or a container could not get the memory requested — either the system is out of memory or the size was absurdly large (ofte…

AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflowC/C++

C/C++: ==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-buffer-overflow on address — READ/WRITE of size N

AddressSanitizer caught a read or write just outside a heap block — an array index or length that is off by one or more.

Two steps away (21)

SIGSEGVLinux

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

A program accessed memory it wasn’t allowed to, and the kernel killed it with SIGSEGV (exit code 139).

Unexpectedly found niliOS

Fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value

Swift force-unwrapped (`!`) an optional that was nil, crashing the app.

IllegalArgumentExceptionJava

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

A method rejected an argument value as invalid.

E0308Rust

Rust: error[E0308]: mismatched types — expected `X`, found `Y`

A value’s type doesn’t match what the context expects — common with &str vs String, Option/Result vs plain values, and integer ty…

no match for 'operator'C/C++

C++: error: no match for 'operator<<' (operand types are 'std::ostream' and 'X')

You used an operator on a type that does not define it — most often printing your own class with `

invalid conversion fromC/C++

C++: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*' [-fpermissive]

C++ forbids silently dropping `const` or converting between unrelated pointer types — typically a string literal assigned to `cha…

use of deleted functionC/C++

C++: error: use of deleted function 'X::X(const X&)' — copying a non-copyable type

The code needs a function (usually a copy constructor or assignment) that was deleted explicitly or implicitly, as for `std::uniq…

no matching function for call toC/C++

C++: error: no matching function for call to 'f(int, const char*)'

No overload of the function accepts the arguments you passed — wrong count, wrong types, or a missing conversion.

incomplete typeC/C++

C++: error: invalid use of incomplete type 'class X' — forward declaration only

You used a class that has only been forward-declared (so its size and members are unknown) where the full definition is required.

error while loading shared librariesLinux

error while loading shared libraries: libX.so.N: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The program needs a shared library (.so) that isn’t installed or isn’t on the loader’s search path.

undefined reference toC/C++

C/C++: undefined reference to `function' — collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The linker can’t find the definition of a function or variable that was declared and used.

multiple definition ofC/C++

C/C++: multiple definition of `x'; first defined here — ld returned 1 exit status

The linker found the same function or global variable defined in two object files — usually something defined in a header.

undefined reference to vtableC/C++

C++: undefined reference to `vtable for X' — virtual function not defined

The linker cannot find the class's virtual table, which means at least one virtual member function was declared but never defined…

Assertion failedC/C++

C/C++: Assertion `x > 0' failed. Aborted (core dumped) — assert() condition was false

An `assert()` in your code or in a library found its condition false and aborted the program on purpose.

AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-freeC/C++

C/C++: ==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: heap-use-after-free on address — memory used after delete/free

The program read or wrote a heap block after it had been freed; ASan shows who freed it and where it was allocated.

double free or corruptionC/C++

C/C++: free(): double free detected / double free or corruption (out) — Aborted (core dumped)

Memory was freed twice or the heap was corrupted (buffer overflow, freeing a non-heap pointer), so glibc aborted the program.

Segmentation faultC/C++

C/C++: Segmentation fault (core dumped) — SIGSEGV from a null, dangling or out-of-bounds pointer

The program touched memory it is not allowed to access — a null or dangling pointer, an out-of-range array index, or a stack over…

Bus errorC/C++

C/C++: Bus error (core dumped) — SIGBUS from misaligned access or a bad memory-mapped file

The CPU or OS rejected a memory access that is not a plain invalid address: misaligned data, or touching a memory-mapped file pag…

MEMORY_MANAGEMENTWindows

Blue Screen: MEMORY_MANAGEMENT (Stop code 0x0000001A)

Windows detected a severe memory-management error — commonly faulty RAM, unstable memory settings or a bad driver.

OOM killerLinux

Killed / Out of memory: Killed process (Linux OOM killer)

The kernel ran out of memory and killed a process to recover — the program just prints “Killed” (exit code 137).

Cannot allocate memoryLinux

fork: Cannot allocate memory / ENOMEM

The kernel refused a memory allocation — RAM and swap are exhausted, or overcommit/cgroup limits block it.
