fread返回< 1从二进制文件读取记录时

标签: c file-io binaryfiles fread feof

我正在尝试从二进制文件中读取学生记录(SREC)。该文件肯定包含在l完整记录(前一次运行写入文件)。在我的输出中,我得到两次记录的“ERROR:无法从文件读取记录”语句两次。顶部的printf(读数记录,numR)显示3次,所以我知道while循环在它应该达到eof时输入3次。

有什么想法吗? 提前谢谢!

/*Create and populate all 4 lists if lname list exists from previous usage*/
     if((readL = fopen("last", "rb")) == NULL)
     {
        printf("\nNew file will be created after server terminates.\n");
        created = 1;
     }
     else
        {           
        created = 0;

/*Read in record from binary file*/
        while(!feof(readL))
        {
            numR++;         
printf("Reading record %d\n", numR);

            /*Create new temporary SREC*/
            newSREC = (SREC*)malloc(sizeof(SREC));
            newSREC2 = (SREC*)malloc(sizeof(SREC));
            newSREC3 = (SREC*)malloc(sizeof(SREC));
            newSREC4 = (SREC*)malloc(sizeof(SREC));

            /*Read in one record from file*/
            if(fread(newSREC, sizeof(SREC), 1, readL) < 1)
            {
                newSREC2 = newSREC;
                newSREC3 = newSREC;
                newSREC4 = newSREC;

                firstL = insert(newSREC, 1, firstL);
                firstF = insert(newSREC2, 2, firstF);
                firstS = insert(newSREC3, 3, firstS);
                firstG = insert(newSREC4, 4, firstG);
            }
            else
            {
                printf("ERROR: Could not read record from file.\n");
            }
        }

        fclose(readL);
    }

表面问题

从表面上看,此代码的错误检测相反:

if (fread(newSREC, sizeof(SREC), 1, readL) < 1)
{
    newSREC2 = newSREC;
    newSREC3 = newSREC;
    newSREC4 = newSREC;

    firstL = insert(newSREC, 1, firstL);
    firstF = insert(newSREC2, 2, firstF);
    firstS = insert(newSREC3, 3, firstS);
    firstG = insert(newSREC4, 4, firstG);
}
else
{
    printf("ERROR: Could not read record from file.\n");
}

如果读取完整记录,则fread()的返回值为1;否则它将为零。你应该使用:

if (fread(newSREC, sizeof(SREC), 1, readL) == 1)

深入研究

循环不应该使用feof() - 请参阅while (!feof(file)) is always wrong。你应该使用类似的东西:

SREC srec;
while ((fread(&srec, sizeof(srec), 1, readL) == 1)
{
    SREC *newSREC1 = malloc(sizeof(*newSREC1));
    SREC *newSREC2 = malloc(sizeof(*newSREC2));
    SREC *newSREC3 = malloc(sizeof(*newSREC3));
    SREC *newSREC4 = malloc(sizeof(*newSREC4));
    if (newSREC1 == 0 || newSREC2 == 0 || newSREC3 == 0 || newSREC4 == 0)
    {
        free(newSREC1);
        free(newSREC2);
        free(newSREC3);
        free(newSREC4);
        …report error…
        break;
    }
    *newSREC1 = srec;
    *newSREC2 = srec;
    *newSREC3 = srec;
    *newSREC4 = srec;

    firstL = insert(newSREC1, 1, firstL);
    firstF = insert(newSREC2, 2, firstF);
    firstS = insert(newSREC3, 3, firstS);
    firstG = insert(newSREC4, 4, firstG);
}

// Optional analysis of why the loop ended — feof() vs ferror() vs short read

代码泄漏内存,就像永远不会缺少内存一样。分配了newSREC2等后,它会用指向newSREC1的指针覆盖指针。作业 应该是:

*newSREC2 = *newSREC; // Original code — see above for revision

我注意到你不能在数组中分配所有4条记录,因为你几乎肯定需要能够独立释放4条记录。这在代码中留下了很多重复。

EOF的错误指示器仅在尝试读取时设置。

在您阅读的地方测试成功阅读。

在您的示例中,测试正好读取1条记录。

来自fread手册页:

  

fread()不区分文件结束和错误,并且调用者必须使用feof(3)和ferror(3)来确定发生了什么。

更改您的测试,例如:

while (fread(...) > 0)
    // ...

if (ferror(file))
    // an error happened
