calloc()
-
Sometimes I wonder why you are a CP MVP. I work with a large amount of legacy C code that use malloc/calloc/realloc/free I cannot, will not change that because it works and has been working for the last few years. The question is valid, albeit not well "asked", in this forum.

CP means Codeproject.
Don't know where to start ?

Hi I have used many times calloc().But this time it is going fail. What may be the reason when calloc() fails(return bad pointer) Thanx
manu
If it returns
NULL, it is a failure, like an out-of-memory or out-of-address-space condition. If it returns a non-NULLvalue, but things crash when you try to use it (i.e. it is truly invalid), then I would offer that the heap information used bycalloc(...)is messed up,or you are going too far with the pointer returned. Although, sincecalloc(...)has to actually touch the memory to initialize it to zero, it should crash within the call tocalloc(...)if the memory it allocated is really invalid. So, what do you mean by "returns bad pointer"? Peace!-=- James
