程序在重新分配内存时会导致内存损坏

标签: c malloc valgrind realloc

我有一个带2D阵列的程序。首先,我像这样分配数组:

char **crossword;
crossword = (char **) malloc(n* sizeof(*crossword));
for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    crossword[i] = (char *)malloc(n);

n = 50。

然后我有函数,从stdin读取字符串。问题是,我不知道这些字符串将会有多少或多长。

void read(char **p,int *n)
{
char tmp = 0,prevtmp = 0;
int i = 0, j = 0,x;

while (1)
{
    prevtmp = tmp;
    tmp = getchar();
    if ((tmp == '\n' && prevtmp == '\n') || feof (stdin))
    {
        *n = i;
        break;
    }
    if (tmp == '\n')
    {
        p[i][j] = '\0';
        i++;
        if (i == *n)
        {
            p = (char **) realloc(p, 2*i); // if there is more strings than space for them, allocate more memory.
            for (x = i; x < 2*i; x++)
                p[x] = (char *) malloc (*n);

            *n *= 2;
        }
        j = 0;
        continue;
    }
    p[i][j] = tmp;
    j++;
    if (j == *n)
        p[i] = (char *)realloc(p[i], 2*j); //same as above
}
}

函数被调用如下:

read(crossword,&n);

当不需要realloc时,此函数可以正常工作(少于50个字符串,每个字符串少于50个字符)。但是对于大输入,这会失败

*** glibc detected *** ./a.out: malloc(): memory corruption (fast): 0x00000000014282f0 *** error.

我认为我的问题是在我重新分配更多内存的部分,这里是从valgrind输出的:

valgrind: m_mallocfree.c:266 (mk_plain_bszB): Assertion 'bszB != 0' failed.
valgrind: This is probably caused by your program erroneously writing past the
end of a heap block and corrupting heap metadata.  If you fix any
invalid writes reported by Memcheck, this assertion failure will
probably go away.  Please try that before reporting this as a bug.

我一直在试用指针很短的时间,所以我不知道出了什么问题。我一直试图解决这个问题几个小时,但我没有想出任何东西。

我做错了什么?

答案 0 :(得分:1)

问题似乎在于以下几行:

p = (char **) realloc(p, 2*i);

我想它应该是:

p = (char **) realloc(p, (2*i)*sizeof(char*));

即。您希望增加数组以容纳2*i元素,因此您需要分配2*ichar*的大小。
