what is difference between notation 1) ```&(*arr[i])``` and 2) ```arr[i]``` ? | |
Why does 1) work and 2) fail w/ Segmentation fault? | |
works: | |
``` | |
... | |
int load_arr(char *filename, struct arr_t **arr) | |
{ | |
... | |
*arr = malloc(arr_size * sizeof(struct arr_t)); | |
for (int i = 0; i < arr_size; i++) { | |
fscanf(fp,"%d %f %f", &(object.id), &(object.x), &(object.y)); | |
init_arr(&(*arr)[i], 1); | |
append_arr(&(*arr)[i], object); | |
} | |
... | |
} | |
``` | |
doesn't work (but compiles fine): | |
``` | |
... | |
int load_arr(char *filename, struct arr_t **arr) | |
{ | |
... | |
*arr = malloc(arr_size * sizeof(struct arr_t)); | |
for (int i = 0; i < arr_size; i++) { | |
fscanf(fp,"%d %f %f", &(object.id), &(object.x), &(object.y)); | |
init_arr(arr[i], 1); | |
append_arr(arr[i], object); | |
} | |
... | |
} | |
``` | |
in version that doesn't work, it would run for first 2-3 iterations and then fail with segmentation fault 11. Valgrind would be suggesting error in init_arr or append_arr methods. | |
``` | |
void init_arr(struct arr_t *c, int cap) | |
{ | |
assert(c != NULL); | |
assert(cap >= 0); | |
c->size = 0; | |
c->capacity = cap; | |
c->obj = malloc(cap * sizeof(struct obj_t)); | |
if(c->obj == NULL) { | |
c->capacity = 0; | |
} | |
} | |
void append_arr(struct arr_t *c, struct obj_t obj) | |
{ | |
if(c->size >= c->capacity) { | |
int ns = c->capacity + ARR_CHUNK; | |
resize_arr(c, ns); | |
} | |
c->obj[c->size++] = obj; | |
} | |
