I'll do valgrind next but this is what i have and i didn't even call that function oddly enough

I even went ahead and tried that exact function and process id directly and strange how it didn't crash when i acrually do call it

neon@neon:~$ ~/Desktop/crosspross --env-from-pid 72679

void ExeFromProssId(PROSSID prossId, char **buffer) {
  ...
  string str(exe); str.resize(str.length() + 1, '\0');
  *buffer = str.data();

Returning the address of something stack allocated (the std::string str variable, which will clean up any internal heap allocated data it uses when destroyed) can quite possibly cause issues for you. You could try making them static so they are local but are not stack allocated (making those variables thread-unsafe of course, and you need to copy any required information before calling the function again to avoid losing the content for a previous call or holding on to a possibly invalidated pointer).

Also, the str.data() function is not guaranteed to have a zero-terminated buffer returned (unlike str.c_str()), which in turn means constructing a std::string from such a pointer may or may not include additional characters after the valid data ends and/or also cause a crash.

Edit:
Finally, you're leaking memory related to your proc_t proc_info structure as fields like environ are allocated on the heap.
GML:
void ProssIdFromCwd(const char *cwd, PROSSID **prossId, size_t *size) {
  proc_t proc_info;
  ...
  if (readproc(proc, &proc_info) != 0) {
    ...
  }
}
Without calling procfree() with a dynamically allocated proc_t structure (because it frees the pointer itself, so can't be a pointer to an instance on the stack) or manually freeing the memory of data stored in it, you'll leak memory. Whether this is relevant or not depends on whether you're limiting your implementation to the standalone executable you have in your code, or if it will be turned into a reusable library to be used in a long running process with potentially many calls.

From my experiences, segfaults in this type of situations usually happen when you link incompatible files (e.g. from different versions of the same SDK) so function references are undefined or erroneous... then when the code tries executing the function it loads non-executable memory (or a null pointer) and that's what's causing the actual segfault. (Segfaults are illegal memory references, where you try accessing a segment you're not allowed to)

So if you're compiling standard library code instead of writing your own stuff (this wasn't clear from the opening post), make sure you're meeting the prerequisites. Sometimes old libraries / packages use deprecated interfaces, and that's when this sort of thing usually happens (apt should handle installation dependencies fine so I don't think you're missing any libraries)

Thank you! That is very useful information.

From Google:
The realpath() function shall derive, from the pathname pointed to by file_name, an absolute pathname that names the same file, whose resolution does not involve '. ... The generated pathname shall be stored as a null-terminated string, up to a maximum of {PATH_MAX} bytes, in the buffer pointed to by resolved_name.
I was concatinating with std::string for no reason, aside from std::string making it not thread safe, i could've just spared myself and used strcat(), but also realpath() is null terminated, I got realpath() confused with readlink() which isn't necessarily null terminated but serves the same purpose other than that mostly. I forgot that's the whole reason I used realpath() and not readlink().

About your edit - also very useful. I'l try adding that and see if the segfaults go away.

Edit:
C++:
  std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), *prossId);
  *size = i; closeproc(proc);
It's actually called closeproc(), and I am using it. Although perhaps you meant something else and misspoke?

Edit: I see what you mean. freeproc() is for proc_t * and not PROCTAB *.

Here's my code now but it still segfaults and now the file command doesn't help at all either:

It's actually called closeproc(), and I am using it. Although perhaps you meant something else and misspoke?
closeproc() will free stuff related to your proc variable. I don't think it will free anything allocated by readproc() which will be held in your proc_info variable (like environ).
C:
proc_t* proc_info;
...
proc_info = readproc(proc, NULL); // request a new struct to be allocated instead of using an existing struct
if (proc_info != NULL) {
    ...
    freeproc(proc_info); // free all allocated memory for the struct including itself
}
Or, I think .. (but I wouldn't like being responsible for making sure I catch all cases of needed frees)
C:
proc_t proc_info;
...
readproc(proc, &proc_info);
...
if (proc_info.environ != NULL) free(proc_info.environ);
if (proc_info.cmdline != NULL) free(proc_info.cmdline);

I updated my previous post with the new code. Let me know if you think of anything. Thanks a ton everyone!!! :D

C++:
...
  static string str; str = exe; str.resize(str.length() + 1, '\0');
  *buffer = (char *)str.c_str();
...
   *buffer = proc_info->cmdline;
    freeproc(proc_info);
...
    *buffer = proc_info->environ;
    freeproc(proc_info);
...
}
No need to resize str to add a terminating zero. str.c_str() will handle it for you as needed.

You're retaining a pointer value that is deallocated right after (possibly the root cause of your crash for this version of the code). You could try
C:
...
    *buffer = strdup(proc_info->cmdline);
    freeproc(proc_info);
...
    *buffer = strdup(proc_info->environ);
    freeproc(proc_info);
...
and call free(buffer) when you're done with them after the calls to get the values.

Edit: scratch my change. I am not familiar with the proc api and the structs. I just realized that the may be zero terminated entries in a single allocated buffer, which means strdup won't work (for environ, perhaps ok for cmdline). Anyway, the problem is freeing the struct while needing the data. Since you're writing C++ code, personally I'd probably pass in a reference to a std::vector<std::string> and fill it before freeing the structure instead of dealing with all the pointers and size variables.

Edit: Use of uninitialized variable as loop terminator need to be fixed as well
C:
size_t size;
  for (size_t i = 0; i <= size; i++) {
Related of course, I'd change
C:
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {
    CrossPross::ProssIdFromCwd(cwd, &prossId, &size);
...
into
C:
CrossPross::ProssIdFromCwd(cwd, &prossId, &size);
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {
...
The data shouldn't be changing over the iterations. I think you're gathering the same data over and over, and just pick a different entry for display. All the data is there the first time you call these functions, so move it outside the loop. Doesn't eliminate the required changes related to freeing memory before these functions returns, of course.

I have good news; printing the Environment Block and Command Line no longer segfaults. However there's also bad news, printing a list of Process ID's from a given Executable or Current Working Directory still segfaults. I think you've helped enough for now, I don't want you guys devoting too much of your time if it's a burden at all.

That said, I'll post the fully working code here when it's done.

C++:
void ProssIdFromExe(const char *exe, PROSSID **prossId, size_t *size) {
...
  std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), *prossId);
...
}

void ProssIdFromCwd(const char *cwd, PROSSID **prossId, size_t *size) {
...
  std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), *prossId);
...
}


void PrintPidFromExe(const char *exe) {
  PROSSID *prossId; size_t size;
  CrossPross::ProssIdFromExe(exe, &prossId, &size);
...
}

void PrintPidFromCwd(const char *cwd) {
  PROSSID *prossId; size_t size;
  CrossPross::ProssIdFromCwd(cwd, &prossId, &size);
...
}
In both cases, you're attempting to copy from a vector into unallocated space. You pass in an address to an uninitialized pointer value, and do not allocate space within the functions that get the data before the copy operation.

Maybe add a malloc() call before copying will be sufficient.
C:
void ProssIdFromExe(const char *exe, PROSSID **prossId, size_t *size) {
...
  *prossId = (PROSSID *)malloc(sizeof(PROSSID)*vec.size());
  std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), *prossId);
...
}

void ProssIdFromCwd(const char *cwd, PROSSID **prossId, size_t *size) {
...
  *prossId = (PROSSID *)malloc(sizeof(PROSSID)*vec.size());
  std::copy(vec.begin(), vec.end(), *prossId);
...
}
Although, since you're using C++, why not simply use the std::vector<> you have already populated as the means to get the data out and get rid manual memory management? Unless the purpose is for your functions to have a C API down the road.

Awesome! Thank you for the advice. The reason I am not using c++ std::string and std::vector for function arguments and return types is because this will be a cross-platform development library I was going to add to various package managers, and exporting library's functions with C++-specific types is a bad practice because calling the library with those types will only work with certain compilers as they are implementation defined, and will have varying ABI compatibility.

I can reuse all this same basic logic while writing it for other platform equivalents.

Edit: That fixed everything! Thanks!

C++-specific types is a bad practice because calling the library with those types will only work with certain compilers as they are implementation defined, and will have varying ABI compatibility.
Just have the libra user compile it from source . It's much less of a pain than linking to an already compiled lib. Even with a C abi it can be a huge pain, different compilation options can still lead to issues (like symbol visibility etc).

You can also wrap your c++ functions with a C abi.

I might consider that, but for now, I am just using the functions i wrote to be used in a quick CLI program, which now supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD; available on GitHub: https://github.com/time-killer-games/crosspross I'll worry about adding it to package managers after I figure out how to use AppVeyor, Azure, and Travis for CI tests.
