malloc指针地址改变导致段错误?

我尝试使用C编写一个简单的数据库。但是,我试图调试我的分段错误并发现通过malloc获得的内存指针似乎正在改变(在Database_load程序执行之前和之后,名称和电子邮件指针似乎指向不同的内存位置)。我有两个问题:

  1. 为什么在执行Database_load之前和之后内存指针(名称和电子邮件)指向不同的位置?

  2. 为什么程序会产生seg错误?

  3. 以下是与问题相关的代码

    执行程序后,这是printf输出

    $./ex17_arbitrary db_arbitrary.dat c 512 100
    $./ex17_arbitrary db_arbitrary.dat s 512 100 1 zed zed@zedshaw.com
    
    test set name = 0x15ad058
    test set email = 0x15ad060
    test Database_load loop read rows (nil)
    test Database_load loop read rows name 0x8
    test Database_load loop read rows email 0x10
    

    我注意到的一件事是这两行在使用相同命令的多次执行中永远不会改变

    test Database_load loop read rows name 0x8
    test Database_load loop read rows email 0x10
    

    更新: 我还有一些额外的设计问题。看起来当前数据结构的设计存在问题。我将在这里详细说明设计要求:

    除了我创建的功能之外,我不需要任何额外的功能。数据库的大小(MAX_DATA和MAX_ROWS必须是可变的)。现在我每次调用程序时都会输入MAX_DATA和MAX_ROWS。这可以改善吗?我想可能只是在需要使用Database_create方法时给出MAX_DATA和MAX_ROWS。这个程序来自一个有趣的练习(c.learncodethehardway.org/book/ex17.html),原始程序有一个修复大小的数据库。目标是使其变成可变大小。

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:5)

Database_load,你正在做:

int rc = fread(conn->db, sizeof(struct Database), 1, conn->file);

但是,conn->db是指向struct Database类型的指针,唯一的元素是:

struct Address *rows;

简而言之,您正尝试从rows文件初始化指针 fread。这是{em>不 rows指向的缓冲区/数组,但是rows指针变量本身的内容(即rows指向的内存中的地址)

由于您已在rows中初始化了Database_open,因此fread显示为可疑,因为:

  1. 您已设置rows

  2. 做(例如)void *ptr = ...; read(fd,&ptr,sizeof(ptr));几乎永远不会正确。

  3. 更正常的用法是:void *ptr = ...; read(fd,ptr,some_length);

  4. 您通过执行上述(2)的等效操作,覆盖[废弃]在rows中初始化的Database_open值。如果你写的话,那就像[坏]一样:

    conn->db->rows = NULL;
    

    或者:

    conn->db->rows = (void *) 0x1234;
    

    我不完全确定,因为我无法在没有数据的情况下测试程序,但您可以简单地删除上面的fread。或者,如果数据库中真正存在某种在实际行数据之前的标题,则必须将其替换为其他内容。

    但是,如果您取出freadrows保持不变,指向的内容将填充在for循环中现在

    <强>更新

      

    我看到了问题。我认为这是一个更糟糕的设计。基本上,我将指针存储到数据库中并尝试将其读出并在不同的程序执行中访问相同的指针地址。

    我在原帖中提到过,但在我的编辑中删除了它,因为我认为你不是试图这样做而fread更像是一个“拼写错误”

    但是, 是一个糟糕的设计,试图在文件中存储指针的持久值,并在下次调用时恢复它们。

    特别是如果指针来自malloc。在第二次调用时,旧指针可能会与malloc发生冲突。而且,您如何告诉malloc旧指针现在以某种方式“保留”?

    对于指向全局/静态内存的指针,如果重建程序并添加一个新变量[更改所有内容的地址和偏移量]会发生什么?

    简而言之,你不能这样做[这也是很长的答案: - )]。

      

    我能想到的解决方案是只存储struct Address,并命名字符串,地址字符串。这会是一个更好的设计吗?

    是的,如果您的意思是:

    struct Address {
        int id;
        int set;
        char name[MAX_DATA];
        char email[MAX_DATA];
    };
    

    现在,struct Address可以读/写一个文件,因为它有没有指针(即那是关键)

    作为进一步的示例,请考虑如果struct Address具有嵌入的链接列表指针会发生什么:

    struct Address {
        struct Address *link;
        int id;
        int set;
        char name[MAX_DATA];
        char email[MAX_DATA];
    };
    
    // simple traversal
    for (addr = addrlist;  addr != NULL;  addr = addr->next) {
        // do stuff ...
    
        // broken, because struct Address has a pointer
        fwrite(addr,sizeof(struct Address),fout);
    }
    
    // fix for above
    for (addr = addrlist;  addr != NULL;  addr = addr->next) {
        // do stuff ...
    
        fwrite(addr->id,sizeof(addr->id),fout);
        fwrite(addr->set,sizeof(addr->set),fout);
        fwrite(addr->name,sizeof(addr->name),fout);
        fwrite(addr->email,sizeof(addr->email),fout);
    }
    

    这是一个更独立的方式来做列表:

    struct Address {
        int id;
        int set;
        char name[MAX_DATA];
        char email[MAX_DATA];
    };
    
    // NOTE: either of these works
    #if 1
    struct AddrLink {
        struct AddrLink *link;
        struct Address *data;
    };
    
    #else
    struct AddrLink {
        struct AddrLink *link;
        struct Address data;
    };
    #endif
    
    // indirect list traversal
    for (link = addrlist;  link != NULL;  link = link->next) {
        // do stuff ...
    
        // works because struct Address does _not_ have a pointer
        fwrite(link->data,sizeof(struct Address),fout);
    }
    

    在一般情况下,您要执行的操作类似于序列化。这是一个链接:C - serialization techniques这是另一个:Serialize Data Structures in C

    当我这样做时,我喜欢用标准的“section”标题为数据添加前缀。 .mp4.avi文件中使用了类似的技术:

    struct section {
        int type;                           // section type
        int totlen;                         // total section length
        int size;                           // sizeof of section element
        int count;                          // number of array elements
    };
    
    #define TYPE_ADDRESS    1
    #define TYPE_CITY       2
    #define TYPE_STATE      3
    #define TYPE_COUNTRY    4
    

    这样,如果你的程序不理解新类型,因为它是较旧的版本,它仍然可以复制或跳过它不理解的数据而不会损害它。 (例如)在处理.mp4文件时这是必需的行为。

    更新#2:

      

    我已发布完整代码。你能建议一个更好的设计方法吗?我对数据库文件的格式化没有特定的约束

    好的,下面的工作代码......

    我用结构改变了一些东西[并重命名]。值得注意的是,您调用Connection的主结构现在称为database_t]。 Address现在是address_t

    你非常接近。你试图用你的 struct Database做什么,我用dbheader_t替换了。也就是说,这些是我正在谈论的数据库头结构。你的指针就在里面。我在行数据开始之前将最大行数和最大数据记录为数据库文件的第一部分

    我将分配代码移动到新函数Database_alloc [因为它现在必须在两个不同的地方调用]。

    Database_open必须稍微聪明一些。对于c操作,它会填充数据库标头。对于所有其他操作,它必须打开DB文件并读取磁盘头。

    此外,现在使用新的结构组织,而不是在任何地方conn->db->rowsdb->rows

    总的来说,你已经非常接近了。

    我还将main重新设计为更加用户友好(即您只需在MAX_DATA/MAX_ROWS命令中输入c

    无论如何,这是[请原谅无偿的风格清理]:
