C++ :: Filling Memory Causes Application Crash

Jul 5, 2012

I have a question about allocating 2MB memory then filling it...

@ Platform:
=> DOS, and application is compiled/linked via Watcom C + DOS32/A (...memory model is "flat" mode)

@ phenomenon:
1. I allocate 2M memory by calloc() function. Then I got "!NULL" and it means allocating 2MB memory is ok( right ? )
2. then I tried to "fill" this 2MB memory by for loop(one byte by one byte) like below:

for( DWORD i=0; i<0x200000; i++) {
*((BYTE *)(A[0].B[0]->C) + i ) = 0x5A; // C is 4-byte address value
}

here :
* DWORD means "unsigned long(4-byte)" and 0x200000 means "2MByte"
* in actual case the value of pointer(to allocated memory) is 3019AF3C(~768MB) <- running in flat mode...

3. after filling this range of memory(2MB) the application crashed...

@ my observations:
1. if allocating 2MB and no fill(no write data to memory) => OK
2. if allocating 2MB and just fill the former 32 bytes => OK
3. if allocating 4KB and fill all => OK

my question is: why can't I filling this 2M memory totally "even memory allocation succeeds" ?

C++ :: Two Dimensional Array In Form Application - Memory Corrupt

Mar 9, 2013

I'm using C++ Form Application in Visual Studio 2010. I defined a new two dimentional array. like this "static int dizi[26][26];" I want to change the value when I clicked the button1. For example, I can change as dizi[2][3]=1. But I couldn't change like in this code. dizi[a][b]=1 didn't happen.

Error is... "access violation exception was unhandled. attempted to read or write protected memory. this is often an indication that other memory is corrupt."

for(int i=1;i<=26;i++){
uzunluk=0;
for(int uzun=1;uzun<=26;uzun++){
if(ogrenci[i].ders[uzun]!=0)
uzunluk+=1;
else break;

[Code] ....

I don't use zeroth variable here.So, It started from 1. My problem is variable can't be changed.I can't assign a value to variable. I have to use 'ogrenci[i].ders[j]'s index for dizi array in this code. It's really weird.

C++ :: Shared Memory To Make Objects Of Application Persistent?

Aug 18, 2014

I have a question concerning shared memory (in linux-environment). In our company we currently have an application that is restarted once in a while. There are multiple instances running of this application (on different physical machines), and all access the same centralized database. Because of IO and Network bottleneck the start gets very slow, and takes about 10 Minutes. Besides some new data, most of the data stays the same, so reading from the database again is quite redundant. An idea is to write all relevant object to a shared memory segment, when the application is shut down. A second dummy process attaches to the same shared memory (just so that some process is still attached). If the application is restarted, it is attached again to its shared memory, and reads it to its own adress range again. There might occur a difference regarding the data so it might me necessary to load some new data afterwards, but that is different problem.

The current idea is to serialize all Objects (could be about 1-2 Gigabyte) with Apache Thrift, and write them into shared memory. With Thrift the data is more or less ordered, so creating the objects anew is possibly easier (not sure here).

My Question is:

- Does it even make sense to consider shared memory in this scenario. I've read a lot stuff about in the last few days, and for now I don't see big disadvantages (except if the application crashes, in this case I've to read from database again). On the other hand I don't know how to really implement this functionality (as I'm no experienced Developer)

- Should I aim for Boost::Interproces, considering even memory mappable files, or stay with the traditional shmat (and stuff..)?

- I guess 1-2 Gigabyte shared memory will be necessary. This amount is only needed in the gap between application shutdown and restart. Will the sheer amount of needed shared memory be a problem (all examples I found just used a few Bytes or Kilobytes)

C++ :: Why Does This Code Crash Half Way Through

Jan 16, 2014

whats wrong with this code, I'm trying to parse a .js file and replace all the ";" with "; " i.e add a new line after each ";". So I load the file into a char[] buffer then assign a string to this contents of this buffer. Then loop char by char through using an iterator and check for a ";", if found use replace. So int i gets to about 85898 then crashes with unknown error, 'i' should reach about 175653. It does work up till it crashes. And, is this not a simpler way to load a file into a buffer, there is in C.

Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
#include <algorithm>
#include <vector>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()

[code]....

C++ :: Crash Normally But Not When Debugging (SDL Malloc)

Jul 16, 2013

Notes: Im Using SDL, Im using Codeblocks to code

Ive narrowed down my crashing problem ( using printf's ) to a malloc call I had to use printf's because when i ran the program in Codeblocks debugging mode, it did not crash and ran fine, but when i ran it normally, it would crash, giving me this error:

fatal signal segmentation fault (sdl parachute deployed)

Inside my code, I created a malloce function that checks malloc for me ( so i dont have to do it )

( general.h )

void* malloce ( size_t size )
{
printf ( "start malloce %i
", size );

[Code]....

funny thing is that i called this malloce function about 20 times before it hits this part of the code, it is unknown behavior to me!

C++ :: Crash Caused By 2D Array?

Nov 6, 2012

I have a function such that one of its parameters is a 2D array of type int. The parameter is defined as follows:

[code]
int topoGraph [][MAX_VERTICES]
[code]

However, the following code snippet from the body of the function crashes at the specified line:

Code :
if( counter >= 4 && !adjMatrixAlreadySet) {
if( edgeCost == 10 ) {
topoGraph[srcVertex][dstVertex] = 1; <<<<<---------- The point of crash
}
else if( edgeCost == 100000 )//restricted link {
topoGraph[srcVertex][dstVertex] = edgeCost;

[code]....

It seems like there is an undefined behaviour at the specified point of crash since it crashes with different values of srcVertex and dstVertex each time I run it.

What might be the reason for this crash ?

C++ :: QLabels And High Speed Updating Causes Crash

Jun 26, 2014

On a project I'm working on, I need to update many QLabels very quickly. Each label needs to be updated at about 20 to 50 hertz and there can be over 50 labels at any given time. The problem I'm having is after running the program for about a minute, the labels freeze and the whole program crashes about 10 seconds later. If I comment out the setText() and setNum() calls and reroute the outputs to the console, it runs fine and never crashes. Why does calling SetText() and setNum() so quickly cause the program to crash and how can I prevent this?

C :: Declaring Array Size Using Variable Causes Program To Crash

May 10, 2013

I am new to C. I've been trying to use C to code some statistical functions originally coded in R. I've encountered an interesting phenomenon. In the function foo1, I declared the array v1v2b using an actual value 1999000. The function runs fine when I call it in R.

Code:
void foo1(double *x, double *y, int *nsamp){
int i, j, k, oper=2, l;
double* v1v2=malloc(sizeof(double)*((*nsamp)*(*nsamp-1)/2 + 1));
outer_pos(x, y, nsamp, &v1v2[0]);
double v1v2b[1999000]; //<-------HERE
for(i=1; i<= 1999000]; i++){
v1v2b[i-1]=1;
} }

However, in foo2, I first create an integer variable called index, and store the value 1999000 in it. I then use it to initialize the same array. When I tried calling this function in R, it either led to a stack overflow error, or completely crashed R.

Code:
void foo2(double *x, double *y, int *nsamp){
int i, j, k, oper=2, l;
double* v1v2=malloc(sizeof(double)*((*nsamp)*(*nsamp-1)/2 + 1));

C++ :: Destructor And Inheritance Causing Program To Crash After Running?

Dec 13, 2013

I have a class which dynamically allocates memory for three data arrays, and as such in the destructor I told it to delete those data arrays.

However, when I've created a new class, and inherited the previous class - it will always crash AFTER running the program, unless I don't have the previous destructor present.

C# :: How To Start Application And Automatically Pass Input To That Application

May 9, 2012

I want to create an application that starts an application and passes input to that application. I know how to start a process using the classes in System.Diagnostics, but I don't know how to pass data to the process.

For example, and this is just an example, I would like to be able to automatically start an application that requires a username and password and automatically enter the username and password. Of course, that might open the door to security vulnerabilities, but that's not the point of the exercise.

How to implement the functionality I described? Is there a general way to go about doing this or does it depend entirely on the idiosyncrasies of the application in question?

C :: Filling 2D Array

Mar 24, 2013

So here is the C code:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
//2D Array
int array[2][2];
int number = 1;
}

[code]....

The array is not filled incorrectly for some reason, more specifically the first row.The first two cycles of the for loop seem to work correctly. One if the bugs seems to occur on the third. when array[0][2] is filled with number 7, for some reason array[1][0] changes it value to 7 as well.

C/C++ :: Send Signal SEGV To Crash A Running Process In Windows To Dump Core

Jul 2, 2014

I need to do an equivalent of kill -11 <pid>(which is in unix) in windows.

I need to crash a process with SEGV so that it would dump core in windows. Is there any tool by which we can do this . Also is there any sample code through which we can achieve this .

In windows we have taskill which only terminates a process , but is unable to send a signal like SEGV to the process upon which it would terminate and dump core .

C++ :: Filling A Vector With Elements?

Mar 21, 2013

I'm writing a program with a class containing a private std::vector<bool>. I chose bool because the vector represents a 2D array (think grid) and I only need 2 states per cell. I kept it one-dimensional as this hardly complicates things.

My problem is that I don't know how to initialize the vector, i.e. fill it with 0's.

The grid's resolution is not known at compile time, so I imagine I have to set the size (and content) of the vector in the class constructor.

Here's what I have tried among several things:

Code: World::World(const u_short worldsize)
{
grid.reserve(worldsize * worldsize); // grid is the private vector; square dimensions.
std::fill(grid.begin(), grid.end(), 0);
std::cout << grid.size();
} The output is 0. Only std::vector::push_back seems to have an effect on size(), but judging by its description, it doesn't look like the right candidate to populate a vector with zeros. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Frankly I expected line 3 to set the vector's size.

C :: Filling Array With Even And Odd Number

Jun 25, 2013

I have this snippet :

Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#define LEN 3
int main(void)
{
int a[LEN] = {0} , b[LEN] = {0} , i = 0;

[Code] ....

/* OUTPUT :
a[0] = 2 , b[0] = 1
a[1] = 0 , b[1] = 3
a[2] = 0 , b[2] = 0 */

The problem is some elements of the array would be remained zero and unused. Is there any solution about this wasting of memory?

C :: Filling 2D Array Complexity?

Mar 24, 2013

Assuming that we have :

Code:
int arr2d[rows][columns] ; // Not valid syntax of course ... let be arr2d rows * columns size
for(int i=0; i<rows; i++)
for(int j=0; j<columns; j++)
arr2d[rows][columns] = some_value;

What is the complexity? I believe O(n) and not O(n^2) on this case because if you have 3*3 size you would put 9 elements (from 9 elements input of course)... for each input you have one insertion and that is the meaning. Same as 4*4 size 16 input times 16 insertions .. or 5*5 and so forth...

C++ :: Filling Arrays From A Text File

Jun 20, 2013

I am having a trivial trouble on how to create three different arrays from a text file. I am a beginner in C++. I have a .txt file containing a string of 'float' values as below:

0.5
0.6
0.7
0.8
0.9
1.0
1.1
1.2
1.3

//----------------------

Now, I want to make three arrays, p1[], p2[], and p3[] from them, so that
p1[] has elements from line: 1, 4, 7, ...,
p2[] has elements from line: 2, 5, 8, .., and
p3[] has elements from line: 3, 6, 9,... of the .txt file.

My original file has a huge amount of data, so I would have to use a loop, but I cannot think of a way to fill my arrays as described.

C++ :: Initializing / Filling Container With Sample Of Another

May 22, 2014

I have a vector that I want to use to source another vector, something like copy_if, but without the need to allocate space first:

bool is_odd( const int x ){ return x % 2 == 1; }
std::vector< int > numbers = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 };
std::vector< int > odd_numbers;
std::sweet_function( numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), odd_numbers, is_odd );
// odd_numbers is { 1, 3, 5 }

Even better might be a std::transform_if
