我正在试图弄清楚如何在函数中将结构指针设置为NULL。这是我的代码。
struct object
{
char* name;
int type;
};
struct object* createObject(char* new_name, int new_type)
{
struct object* new_object = (struct object*) malloc(sizeof(struct object));
new_object->name = (char*) malloc(sizeof(char) * (strlen(new_name) + 1));
strcpy(new_object->name, new_name);
new_object->type = new_type;
return new_object;
}
void freeData(struct object* clearedObject)
{
free(clearedObject->name);
clearedObject->name = NULL;
clearedObject->type = 0;
}
void freeObject(struct object* deadObject)
{
free(deadObject);
deadObject = NULL;
}
int main(void)
{
struct object* my_object = createObject("Test", 1234);
printf("Pointer to Object: %p\n", my_object);
printf("Pointer to Name : %p\n", my_object->name);
printf("Name: %s\n", my_object->name);
printf("Type: %d\n", my_object->type);
printf("\n");
freeData(my_object);
printf("Pointer to Object: %p\n", my_object);
printf("Pointer to Name : %p\n", my_object->name);
printf("Name: %s\n", my_object->name);
printf("Type: %d\n", my_object->type);
printf("\n");
freeObject(my_object);
printf("Pointer to Object: %p\n", my_object);
}
这是代码输出的内容:
Pointer to Object: 005E17B8
Pointer to Name : 005E17D8
Name: Test
Type: 1234
Pointer to Object: 005E17B8
Pointer to Name : 00000000
Name: (null)
Type: 0
Pointer to Object: 005E17B8
为什么我可以在函数中将结构名称的指针设置为NULL,而不是实际的struct指针本身?怎么办呢?
我需要在函数中将my_object设置为NULL,这怎么可能?
感谢。
答案 0 :(得分:3)
按以下方式定义功能
void freeObject(struct object ** deadObject)
{
free( *deadObject);
*deadObject = NULL;
}
并称之为
freeObject( &my_object );
原始函数的问题是参数是函数的局部变量。局部变量的任何更改都不会影响原始参数。
