通过函数传递指针

我因为一个指针p_return_index而停留在这个程序上。正如它所暗示的那样,它被带入每个搜索功能,并且应该被赋予索引值,其中找到搜索到的数字。如果搜索的数字不在数组中,程序运行正常,但是当我输入数组中的数字时,会出现分段错误(核心转储)错误。传递指针我必须做错事。因为它给出了索引号。我只是不知道如何解决这个问题。请注意,指针是使用NULL初始化的;我认为这可能与它有关。我显然不知道。

非常感谢帮助。

你在做的是:

  1. 您声明一个指针并为其指定NULL。

  2. 将此NULL值传递给函数。

  3. 该函数尝试读取指针后面的内存。由于指针仍然存储地址NULL,因此该函数尝试读取地址为NULL的内存,该内存不存在。


  4. 将指针参数用作返回值的惯用法是:

    1. 您可以按照自己的方式定义指针参数。

      void foo(int* myReturnArgument);
      
    2. 在调用代码中,您定义一个不是指针的变量。然后你获取该变量的地址并将其传递给函数。

      int bar;
      foo(&bar);
      
    3. 在函数中,您可以操纵指针指向的值。

      void foo(int* myReturnArgument) {
          *myReturnArgument = 42;
      }
