函数执行后,struct中数组中的值丢失

标签: c arrays struct malloc loss

我正在研究一个c代码,它包含一个托管一些我称之为范围的值的结构。

我的目的是动态地使用这个所谓的范围(每次执行时保存不同数量的数据)。我现在暂时使用#define comp代替。每次通过使用s1结构(和内存分配)调用update_range时,这个所谓的范围都会更新。

我发现奇怪的是,当我介绍一个" show_range"函数输出更新函数内部/外部的实际值我意识到我松了前两个值。 这是代码。 有什么建议吗? 提前谢谢!

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <complex.h>
#define comp 1024

// struct holding a complex-valued range
struct range {
    int dimensions;         /* number of dimensions */
    int* size;              /* array holding number of points per dimension */
    complex double* values; /* array holding complex valued */
    int components; /* number of components that will change on any execution*/
};

// parameters to use in function
struct s1 {
    int tag;
    struct range* range;
};

int update_range(struct s1* arg);
int show_range(struct range* argrange, char* message);
int copy_range(struct range* in, struct range* out);

int main(void) {
    int ret = 0;
    struct s1 s1;
    s1.tag = 0;
    s1.range = malloc(sizeof(struct range));
    update_range(&s1);
    show_range(s1.range, "s1.range inside main function");

    return ret;
}

你的copy_range函数被破坏了,因为它只复制指向大小和值的指针而不是内存。在您调用free(range.size);free(range.values);之后,您也会从原始对象中删除mamory,但不将其指针设置为NULL。

调用update_range后,s1.range在大小和值上都有非NULL指针,但它们指向已删除的内存。

由于访问释放的内存,您遇到了未定义的行为(UB)。您的copy_range()函数只会对两个指针字段执行浅表复制,因此当您运行free(range->size)时,您arg->range->size无效。

您应该通过分配和复制指针内容来使copy_range()成为深层副本,如:

out->size = malloc(in->dimensions * sizeof(int));
memcpy(out->size, in->size, in->dimensions * sizeof(int));

out->values = malloc(in->components * sizeof(complex double));
memcpy(out->values , in->values, in->components * sizeof(complex double));

答案 2 :(得分:0)

There are not 10 items to print, so the lines:

printf("      first 10 {Re} values: \n");
for (i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
    printf("   argrange.values[%d]=%f\n", i, creal(argrange->values[i]));
}

Will be printing from random memory.
a much better method would be:

    printf("      first %d {Re} values: \n", min(argrange.components,10));
for (i = 0; i < argrange.components; i++) {
    printf("   argrange.values[%d]=%f\n", i, creal(argrange->values[i]));
}

The above is just one of many problems with the code.  
I would suggest executing the code using a debugger to get the full story.  
as it is, the code has some massive memory leaks due mostly 
to overlaying malloc'd memory pointers.  
for instance as in the following:

arg->range->size =
    malloc(range.dimensions * sizeof(int)); // size was unknown before
arg->range->values =
    malloc(comp * sizeof(complex double)); // amount of values was unknown
