In my experience for example gdb is not as reliable as valgrind for showing
the exact line where the segmentation fault occurs, I've gotten segmentation
fault notices in gdb in incorrect places several times, usually not distant
from the actual location, but nevertheless the exact line reported by valgrind
is much more useful information.
