Improve this question
its a very very anoing problem what i get. My problem is, gcc seems not allocate enough space to my int pointer.
Here is the code:
fns = (int*)calloc(c,sizeof(int));
So, after then i fill up this in a simple loop ones and zeros:
offset = seekToFirstParam(fnString,n);
i = 0;
while(i<c) {
tmp[i] = readNextParam(fnString,n,offset,&s);
if (isFunctionString(tmp[i])) {
fns[i] = 1;
} else {
fns[i] = 0;
}
i++;
}
So this is a "flag" array, but when i debug this, and print the elements i get:
156212102, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1
Or som. like this. I don't get it, because if in the calloc method i write 1000 like this:
fns = (int*)calloc(1000,sizeof(int));
After works fine.
Ok, this is a hole function:
char **readFnParams(char *fnString, int n, int *count, int **func) {
char **tmp;
int *fns = NULL;
int c,i = 0,offset,s;
c = getParamsCount(fnString,n);
if (!c) {
return NULL;
}
tmp = (char**)calloc(c,sizeof(char));
fns = (int*)calloc(c,sizeof(int*));
offset = seekToFirstParam(fnString,n);
while(i<c) {
tmp[i] = readNextParam(fnString,n,offset,&s);
if (isFunctionString(tmp[i])) {
tmp[i] = readNextFunctionParam(fnString,n,offset,&s);
offset = seekToNextParam(fnString,n,offset + s - 1);
fns[i] = 1;
} else {
fns[i] = 0;
offset = seekToNextParam(fnString,n,offset);
}
i++;
}
*func = fns;
*count = c;
return tmp;
}
:) Ok, this is a hole .c file. Yes my previous q. end this connected, becouse its a homework.

It looks to me like you aren't allocating correctly, you have:
tmp = (char**)calloc(c,sizeof(char));
The first line, tmp, is allocating c elements of size char (c elements of 1 byte), I think you want c elements of size char * (c elements of size 4 or 8 bytes per element depending on if you are 32 or 64 bit platform). Since your routine readNextParam() is returning char * to store in this array, you need to change the calloc sizeof for tmp to:
tmp = calloc(c,sizeof(char*));
Because of this, I believe you have memory overwrites when you write into the tmp array that bleed into your other array. By making both "1000" elements, you've padded out that first calloc far enough that the overwrites are still in that same piece of memory.

Runtime error on Leetcode

When I submit my code to Leetcode, it reported runtime error as:
Line 43: member access within null pointer of type 'struct bucket_item'.
I tested that case in my local, it works fine. I thought it maybe causeed by the platform and compiler are different. I then tried to test it on Leetcode Playground. It also worked very well. The Leetcode problem is: https://leetcode.com/problems/substring-with-concatenation-of-all-words/description/
Very appreciated if anyone could let me know what's wrong with my code.

When you call the hash_lookup function, it could return NULL in some cases. So when you use item->count in the next line, you may access a NULL pointer.
You should ensure that item isn't NULL first, and than use item->count, like so:
for (int i = 0; i < word_size; ++i)
{
bucket_item *item = hash_lookup(hashmap, words[i], bucket_count);
if (item != NULL && item->count != 0) {
found = false;
}
}
for (int i = 0; i < word_size; ++i)
{
bucket_item *item = hash_lookup(hashmap, words[i], bucket_count);
if (item != NULL) {
item->count = item->ori_count;
}
}

Error Message : Run-Time error #3
I want to make program that reads txt from file, cut them into words, and display on console. I make it, but it doesnt work. how to fix it?
I think static WORDS heap<- this part
or
delete part is error.
or its path is failure.
I see following errors in your code:
heap[0].words = NULL;
words is an array, not a dynamyc allocated pointer, so you cannot assign to NULL (you get a compiler error! Seems to me that the WORDS.word variable declaration is uncorrect).
strcpy(minElement, heap[1].words);
strcpy(lastElement, heap[heapSize--].words);
minElement and lastElement are not initialized and not allocated, so the strcpy function will fail.
Here is a way to correct the code, I changed the minimum possible. The following collect the words, count the number of occurences and print the result in alphabetical order:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

Unreachable Node in Dijkstra's Algorithm

So I'm having trouble with Dijkstra's algorithm (src to dest). I looked at other answers and could not find the solution to my problem. I have used an adjacency list, thus I have a list for vertices, and each vertex has it's own edge list. My problem arises when I have a node that is unreachable.

Although an unreachable node never gets visited, this situation can be detected. If the dists of all unvisited nodes are INFINITY, this means all remaining nodes are unreachable, and you should end the loop.

it give me just warning on line 60 in main( string = add_point(final_string); )
i think the function calculations it make the error.
char final_string[number_of_char_aprox];
What's number_of_char_aprox? You don't even declare it as a variable. A segmentation fault happens when you are trying to access not assigned memory. As there is no value for that variable (actually there is no variable at all), it probably defaults to 0 (or NULL, or imploding universe, who knows), and when you use it to reserve memory for final_string you got your segmentation fault.
By the way, DDD is a great graphical debugger.

Pointer to FILE nulling itself without being used at all

in the following code when ran will produce a Segmentation Fault, due to a FILE* being passed to fclose which contains no address (NULL).
I'm wondering why this is happening, the FILE* isn't being used what so over.
The FILE* is named urandom and is passed to fclose in the main function.
Thanks

here it givest an access violation in splitBuffer on this line:
name[j-1]='\0';
which probably should be
(*name)[j-1]='\0';
indeed that memory is not allocated anywhere, in other words, undefined behaviour, which indeed in your case might overwrite the urandom variable: both urandom and name are allocated on stack so depending on value of j it might write over urandom..
apart from that, there might be more errors, the number and use of pointers/mallocs/reallocs and lack of frees is a bit scary
int createArrayOfPtrs(int ,void ***);
if(createArrayOfPtrs(linesInPropertyFile,(void ***)&arrayForProperties))
This is undefined behaviour, a (void***) is not compatible to a (struct property ***). Why do you even use it here, all the other functions use struct property pointers?
Since the array is located right before the file pointer in the local variables of main, maybe the problem is that the array creation/initialization overwrites urandom?
