如何修复运行时错误:加载'const char类型的空指针

我需要编写在哈希表中加载字典的函数。我对错误消息感到困惑:c:37:20运行时错误:加载了'const char'类型的空指针,该错误在分段错误中运行。

我试图更改加载功能,但仍然没有帮助。并尝试为哈希表分配内存,因为我认为问题可能出在内存泄漏中。

`  // Represents number of buckets in a hash table
#define N 26

// Represents a node in a hash table
typedef struct node
{
    char word[LENGTH + 1];
    struct node *next;
}
node;

// Represents a hash table
node *hashtable[N];
// Hashes word to a number between 0 and 25, inclusive, based on its first letter
unsigned int hash(const char *word)
{
    // Allocates memory for hashtable
    int  *ht = malloc(26*sizeof(int));
    if(!ht)
    {
        unload();
        return false;
    }
    return tolower(word[0]) - 'a';  // this is error line 37:20
}

// Loads dictionary into memory, returning true if successful else false
bool load(const char *dictionary)
{

    // Initialize hash table
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        hashtable[i] = NULL;
    }

    // Open dictionary
    FILE *file = fopen(dictionary, "r");
    if (file == NULL)
    {
        unload();
        return false;
    }

    // Buffer for a word
    char word[LENGTH + 1];

    // Insert words into hash table
    while (fscanf(file, "%s", word) != EOF)
    {

        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
        {
            // Allocate memory for node for each new word
            node *new_node = malloc(sizeof(node));
            if (!new_node)
            {
                unload();
                return false;
            }
            // Copies word into node
            strcpy(new_node->word, word);
            new_node->next = NULL;
            // Hashes word
            hash(new_node->word);
            // Inserts word into linked list
            if(hashtable[i] == 0)
            {
                hashtable[i] = new_node;

            }
            else if(hashtable[i] == new_node)
            {
               new_node->next = hashtable[i];
               hashtable[i] = new_node;
            }
        }
    }

    // Close dictionary
    fclose(file);

    // Indicate success
    return true;
}

加载字典时,函数load应该重新调整为true。但是我遇到了分割错误。这是否意味着我没有从加载功能获得正确的输出?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:1)

       new_node->next = NULL;
       hash(new_node->word);
       // Inserts word into linked list
       if(hashtable[i] == 0)
       {
           hashtable[i] = new_node;

       }
       else if(hashtable[i] == new_node)
       {
          new_node->next = hashtable[i];
          hashtable[i] = new_node;
       }

您不使用 hash()的结果,而是使用 i 而不是哈希结果作为 hashtable 中的索引,如果< em> N 大于26,您从 hashtable 中读取/写入,在其他情况下,您没有将单词放在正确的条目中,因为第一个在索引0处,第二个在索引处1等等,不管他们的第一个字母

请注意,else if(hashtable[i] == new_node)永远是不正确的,实际上是永远不会到达的,因为if(hashtable[i] == 0)永远都是正确的,因为您限制了要阅读的单词数

必须做些类似的事情

        int h = hash(new_node->word);

        // Inserts word into linked list
        if(hashtable[h] == 0)
        {
            hashtable[h] = new_node;
            new_node->next = NULL;
        }
        else 
        {
           new_node->next = hashtable[h];
           hashtable[h] = new_node;
        }

但实际上可以简化为:

        int h = hash(new_node->word);

        new_node->next = hashtable[h];
        hashtable[h] = new_node;

请注意,我想您不会多次读取同一单词(这是一本字典)


要做

while (fscanf(file, "%s", word) != EOF)

之所以危险,是因为如果所读单词的长度超过LENGTH,则没有保护措施

假设 LENGTH 为32 do(单词可以存储32个字符,最后一个空字符也可以):

while (fscanf(file, "%32s", word) == 1)

没有理由进行循环:

   for (int i = 0; i < N; i++ )
   {
    ...
   }

删除它(当然不是它的主体),所以:

while (fscanf(file, "%32s", word) == 1)
{
    // Allocate memory for node for each new word
    node *new_node = malloc(sizeof(node));
    if (!new_node)
    {
        unload();
        return false;
    }
    // Copies word into node
    strcpy(new_node->word, word);

    int h = hash(new_node->word);

    new_node->next = hashtable[h];
    hashtable[h] = new_node;
}

tte part

// Initialize hash table
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
{
    hashtable[i] = NULL;
}

是无用的,因为全局的 hashtable 初始化为0

如果您想重新加载字典,则需要先释放链表,然后再重置为NULL


  

内存泄漏

hash 中的 malloc 是无用的,只会造成内存泄漏,将其删除:

// Hashes word to a number between 0 and 25, inclusive, based on its first letter
unsigned int hash(const char *word)
{
    return tolower(word[0]) - 'a';
}

警告如果首字母不是a-z或A-Z,则返回索引不是 hashtable

的有效索引

出于可读性原因,将#define N 26替换为#define N ('z' - 'a' + 1)


添加缺失定义的提案:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <ctype.h>

#define bool int
#define true 1
#define false 0

// Represents number of buckets in a hash table
#define N ('z' - 'a' + 1)

// Represent max word length
#define LENGTH 32

// Represents a node in a hash table
typedef struct node
{
    char word[LENGTH + 1];
    struct node * next;
}
node;

// Represents a hash table
node * hashtable[N];

// Hashes word to a number between 0 and 25, inclusive, based on its first letter
unsigned int hash(const char *word)
{
  return tolower(word[0]) - 'a';
}

// probable goal : empty hashtable 
void unload()
{
  for (size_t i = 0; i != N; ++i) {
    while (hashtable[i] != NULL) {
      node * next = hashtable[i]->next;

      free(hashtable[i]);
      hashtable[i] = next;
    }
  }  
}

// Loads dictionary into memory, returning true if successful else false
bool load(const char *dictionary)
{
  // Open dictionary
  FILE * file = fopen(dictionary, "r");

  if (file == NULL)
    return false;

  // Buffer for a word
  char word[LENGTH + 1];

  // Insert words into hash table
  while (fscanf(file, "%32s", word) == 1)
  {
    if (isalpha(word[0])) {
      // Allocate memory for node for each new word
      node * new_node = malloc(sizeof(node));

      if (!new_node)
      {
        unload();
        return false;
      }

      // Copies word into node
      strcpy(new_node->word, word);

      int h = hash(new_node->word);

      new_node->next = hashtable[h];
      hashtable[h] = new_node;
    }
  }

  // Close dictionary
  fclose(file);

  // Indicate success
  return true;
}

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
  if (argc != 2)
    printf("Usage : %s <dictionary>\n", *argv);
  else if (!load(argv[1]))
    fprintf(stderr, "Error when loading '%s'\n", argv[1]);
  else {
    puts("dictionary content");

    for (size_t i = 0; i != N; ++i) {
      node * n = hashtable[i];

      if (n != NULL) {
        printf("%c :", i + 'a');
        do {
          printf(" %s", n->word);
          n = n->next;
        } while (n != NULL);
        putchar('\n');
      }
    }

    unload();
  }
}
