I can not figure out that is causing this error. I just installed GMP on ubuntu. This is a 64 bit OS on an AMD cpu (not sure if it matters). I keep getting a segmentation fault.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <gmp.h>
#include <time.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
mpz_t sum, fac;
mpf_t fsum, ffac;
int i;
time_t t;
mpz_init_set_ui(sum, 1);
mpz_init_set_ui(fac, 1);
t = time(NULL);
for(i = 10000; i >= 1; --i)
{
mpz_mul_ui(fac, fac, i);
mpz_add(sum, sum, fac);
if(i % 10000 == 0)
{
printf("%d\n", i);
}
}
printf("Time %d\n", (time(0) - t));
mpf_init(fsum);
mpf_init(ffac);
mpf_set_z(fsum, sum);
mpf_set_z(ffac, fac);
mpz_clear(sum);
mpz_clear(fac);
mpf_div(fac, sum, fac);
mpf_out_str(stdout, 10, 50, fac);
mpf_clear(fsum);
mpf_clear(ffac);
return(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
This code outputs the following...
10000
Time 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
I then tried to run this program with valgrind and this is the output.

The error seems to be occurring at the mpf_div function. However, if I remove this function the error will occur at mpf_out_str. I also tried initializing ffac and fsum to doubles (instead of setting them to the fac and sum) and I get the same error.
Problem is in this lines:
mpz_clear(sum); // You clear the variables, GMP deallocates their memory
mpz_clear(fac);
mpf_div(fac, sum, fac); // You use cleared variables, segfault
Maybe you meant:
mpf_div(ffac, fsum, ffac);
