C++ :: Getting Segfault With Pointer To Pointer?
May 19, 2013
I'm trying to store an array of vectors using a double pointer as a 2D array, but after the first "vector" (column) has been filled, I get a segfault. I correctly included all the libraries needed, and declared all the variables; I am using this function to allocate the space for the array:
double **vec_array(int rows,int clms)
/*allocates a double matrix with -rows- rows and -clms- columns */
{
int i;
double **m;
[Code].....
I get no error while compiling, but when I run the program I get a segfault right after having read the first vector: switching on the check I get in my output just the components of the first vector and then the segfault:
Terminal:
$ ./myprog input_data.dat
0.000000 0.512468 -0.152468
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I'm currently programming a server which uses multiple threads- I have a class for one map in the game. Each map has a thread for timed events(tile regeneration, NPC regeneration, etc.), and a thread for handling NPCs(movement, combat, etc.). A basic structure of the class looks like this:
class Region {
public:
/* game values are here, they are public so
they can be accessed from outside of the class
inside of packet-handling functions and such */
int value;
void *Function();
[Code] ....
The program crashes when I use a member of the same class the function is located in- in the context I have shown about it would crash on "value++".

I was having problems changing the value of my head node I passed it as an argument as head which would be the address. The parameter was defined as struct node *head. like this
bool deleteNode(struct node *head, struct node *delptr)
I tried manipultaing pointer values to change head node value but it did not work. I saw some code online which used pointer to pointers(in code below) to change head node value it worked I dont fully understand why. Would like better understanding of why.
Would also like to know why the argument call needed &head instead of just head.
remove = deleteNode(&head,found); opposed to remove = deleteNode(head,found);
#include "stdafx.h"
#include<iostream>
struct node{

I am attempting to implement function pointers and I am having a bit of a problem.
See the code example below; what I want to be able to do is call a function pointer from another pointer.
I'll admit that I may not be explaining this 100% correct but I am trying to implement the code inside the main function below.
class MainObject;
class SecondaryObject;
class SecondaryObject {
public:

I have to write a program to print pascals triangle and stores it in a pointer to a pointer , which I am not entirely sure how to do. I also have to write the file and read it, then create a binary file. Assignment is attached. I am not the best with programming and especially with pointers. I will post my code below.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void writePascalTriangle(char *fileName, int heightOfTriangle, int **triangle) {
FILE *fp;
fp=fopen("writePascalTriangle.txt", "w");
[Code] ....

I'm making a system like twitter for class called ShoutOut.com I want to be able to get the PublicShoutOut pointer pointed to by the start iterator and assign it to firstShoutOutToDisplay and secondShoutOutToDisplay because I need that in order to pass the pointers to one of my functions. When I step through the debugger the values in start are all default values like "" and so are the values in this->firstShoutOutToDisplay but the message that start points to is being output just fine.
EDIT: got rid of irrelevant code. Am I using the correct syntax to do this?
if (start != finish) {
//getting these because a shoutout needs to be passed to the function that displays
//options for a shoutout
this->firstShoutoutToDisplay = (*start);
[Code] ....

I have a function:
const void insertStuff(const void *key, const int value){
// I want to convert the void pointer into one
// of three types of pointers(int, string, or double)
switch(value){
case 0:
int *intPtr = key;
[Code] .....
But this causes an error of: "crosses initialization of int*intPtr"
What's the correct way of implementing this?

i have been fiddling with pointers but I don't understand how the proper syntax is written when I want to acces an element of an array through a pointer to a pointer...The code is all mostly just random bs for learning purposes. I marked the problem "// THIS LINE"
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_DATA 100
int find_average(char *iden, ...) {

This is a sample program that declares a Matrix as a structure with an array as a pointer to a pointer. The following program is supposed to store a matrix in the structure "_Matrix" and later print the matrix just entered but it fails giving me a "segmentation fault". The sample code is given below
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct _Matrix {
int row_size;
int col_size;
int **mat;
[Code] ......

i really don't know why has a error in my code, that pass a pointer of pointer (name of a matrix with 2 dimensions). Here is the source code of a simple example where appears segmentation fault when execute (but compiles normal):
#include <stdio.h>
#define LINHAS 3
#define COLUNAS 5
float a[LINHAS][COLUNAS];
void zeros(float **p,float m, float n){
int i,j;
for(i=0;i<m;i++)

I need to make a copy of a string that is defined by char *full and copy it into a different pointer defined by char *duplicate. I have written code to do this however it will not work and i cannot figure it out my code is as follows:
char *duplicate = (char *)malloc(strlen(full) + 1);
strcpy(duplicate, full); /*Make second version of full*/
char *Ptr = strtok(duplicate, " "); /*Split duplicate up*/
I have a full program written but i know this is where the problem is because i have used printf statements to see where the program fails. I get no errors and it compiles successfully but it hits this point of the program and it just stops and windows automatically shuts down the program.
char *full is pointing to:
"To be, or not to be? That is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,"
I need to duplicate the string because i need to use strtok but i will need the original string later on so i need an unaltered version.

I have the following code :
Code:
#ifndef TDYNAMICARRAY_H
#define TDYNAMICARRAY_H
namespace Massive {
template<class T>
T **AllocateDynamic2DArray(int nRows,int nCols)
[Code] .....
I wish to know how to traverse or loop through a dynamic 2D array using pointer to pointer as returned by the code above. Like I would in a static T[20][20] 2D array.

I'm trying to call a function via a function pointer, and this function pointer is inside a structure. The structure is being referenced via a structure pointer.
Code:
position = hash->(*funcHash)(idNmbr);
The function will return an int, which is what position is a type of. When I compile this code,
I get the error: error: expected identifier before ( token.
Is my syntax wrong? I'm not sure what would be throwing this error.

I create an instance of a base class (not derived class) and assign it to base class pointer. Then, I convert it to a pointer to a derived class and call methods on it.
why does it work, if there is a virtual table?
when will it fail?
// TestCastWin.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.//
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
class B
{
public:
B(double x, double y) : x_(x), y_(y) {}
double x() const { return x_; }

"
#include <stdio.h>
struct datastructure {
char character;
};
void function(struct datastructure** ptr);
[Code] ....
These codes give these errors:
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
error: request for member 'character' in '* ptr', which is of non-class type 'datastructure*'
These errors are related to
"
*ptr->character='a';
printf("Ptr: %c",*ptr->character);
"
I want to access "character" data inside the structure "trial" by a pointer to pointer "ptr" inside function "function",but I couldn't find a way to do this.

Is this the correct format to point a pointer (pointer1) to another pointer (pointer2)?
&pointer1 = &pointer2
I am kinda rusty when it comes to pointers ...

Code:
char *ptr;
printf("Output: %d %d %d
",sizeof(ptr), ptr, ptr+1);
Output: 4 214734480 214734481
int *ptr;
printf("Output: %d %d %d
",sizeof(ptr), ptr, ptr+1);
Output: 4 214734480 214734484 when size of the pointer is the same "4 bytes" whether its a char pointer or a int pointer, but why a char pointer increments 1 where as int pointer increments 4.

I wrote a program to detect if a graph is tree or not. Initially it was using static memory. Later I changed it to use memory dynamically using malloc().My problem is that, my program it works great for case when graph is not tree but fails if it is.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main()
}

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

I have a little program that does some statistical processing on text files. The program has thrown a segmentation fault with an input file that is larger that I have used before. I didn't write this tool, so I went searching for the problem. Data from the input file is dumped into a 2D array and the program fails at the declaration of that array.
Code : double A[cont][Nr_col_split];
The vales for cont and Nr_col_split and determined from the input file and in this case, cont=807 and Nr_col_split=350. I assume that these values are just too large and not enough memory can be allocated, or something like that. Do I need to use reserve or similar to set aside enough memory? I will have input files that are quite a bit bigger than this one, so perhaps there needs to be a different solution for storing the input file data.

The program I'm working on is a very basic relational database. I've isolated my problem for simplicity. I get a segfault right here when I try to access db->relationCount. I tried printing db->relationCount from within loadDB and that worked,
[code]
loadDB(db, configFile);
printf("%d",db->relationCount);
fflush(stdout);

So I was playing around with trying to do an integral using pointers. I've written what I'm trying to do already using arrays
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define RANGE 500 // Final temp = T0 + RANGE
int main() {
int i, j, h = 1, T0 = 300;
float k300 = 148, alpha = -1.25;
[Code] ...
Which works just fine. Instead I want to try to go through it using pointers. Is there a good way to go through the first loop above, something like?
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
#define N 501 // Final temp = T0 + N
int main() {
int T0 = 300;
float k300 = 148, alpha = -1.25;
[Code] ....

Here is a function,which deletes the spaces of a string...
char *removespaces(char *s1) {
Code: char *s2=s1;
int i,j=0;
for (i = 0; i<strlen(s1); i++){
if (s1[i]!=' ') {
s2[j]=s1[i];
[Code] .....
why I have to initialize the pointer *s2 with the first element of the array s1...???If I don't initialize the pointer,or initialize it with something else,I get a segmentation fault...

Can I do the following? Is it a good practice?
Code:
bool *bAct;
bAct = (bool*) calloc (2, sizeof(bool));
for (i=0;i<2;++i)
{
bAct[i] = true; //initialize
}
I need an array of bools for my application.

I tried to use pointer with a function but I guess I am missing out on something
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
int add(int *a,int *b){
int *c,*d;
*c = *c+1;
*d = *d-1;
[Code] ....
And this one too
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
void add(int *a){
int *c;
c = c+1;
