我的段错

标签: c pointers segmentation-fault structure records

当我尝试将记录添加到数据库时,我的代码存在问题。每次我输入任何超过几个字符的名字提示时,即使从旧记录中移动元素,程序也会出现故障。我知道seg故障是由于试图访问我们无法访问的内存,但对于我的生活,我无法弄清楚是什么导致它。这段代码的要点是创建一个信用卡类型的结构,它在头文件中定义,它有一个硬编码的4个记录集,并且能够打印当前数据库,添加记录,删除记录和其他选择从菜单中。现在我专注于添加和删除记录,因为它们是该计划中最困难的部分。为什么我在尝试添加记录时会不断出现seg错误?

标题文件:

#ifndef myStruct
#define myStruct

struct creditCard
{
 char firstName[100];
 char lastName[100];
 char cardNumber[17]; //TA advised to use string since 16 digits will overflow in plain integer
 char expMonth[10];
};

//function headers below
int printCreditCard(struct creditCard *);

int sizeOfDb(struct creditCard *);

int countRecords(struct creditCard *);

int deleteRecord(struct creditCard *);

int addRecord(struct creditCard *);

这里确实存在很多错误 - 你应该尝试使用lint或其他静态分析工具来帮助你找到错误。

一个特殊的问题 - 当你输入fname时,你将scanf传递给一个单个字符的指针 - 你真的想要传递一个指向一个字符数组的指针(实际上,你不想使用scanf at所有,但我不会进入那个)。 Scanf正在快速地将输入字符复制到单个字符之后的内存位置,这当然会在某个时刻导致段错误。

您还需要学习使用某种调试器(gdb?),它可以帮助您在遇到段错误时查看核心转储,以便找到出错的地方。
