I want to copy strings,but occur this....."Access to memory errors....",why?

Here "from" and "to" are constant strings exactly, so the codes below would be mistake. "*to++ = *from++". If you declare "from" and "to" as array of string, your program would work fine. Just like: char from[] = "c plus cplus"; char to[] = "oooooooooooooooooooooo";

while((*to++ = *from++) != '\0');. The C++ language specification for the assignment operator states "The assignment operators return the value of the object specified by the left operand after the assignment." i.e the to pointer. Thus in the above statement the comparison is done with the next element of thetoarray, which being longer than the from array, contains the character 'o'. The while loop is now out of control as it is copying garbage. Rework your loop so that it tests the source array element for '\0', rather than the destination. [EDIT]Sorry, I got this wrong, the result of the expression istobefore it gets incremented, hence it is correct.[/EDIT]modified on Monday, October 12, 2009 5:45 AM

Any idea what's the problem in the following code?
int main()
{
char* str = "Hello";
str[0] = 'Y';
cout< -

Apart from the fact that it will print
"Yello", nothing. -

Not true; declaring a string as
char* strorchar str[]yields the same result.:) Maybe I made something wrong, but it just works fine in my computer. My compiler is VS2008.

Does that copy_pointer loop die on the first time it does something? When it hits a NULL? Does it die if
tois a dynamically created variable? ie,char *buf = new char [128]; // or (char*)malloc(128); if you prefer
copy_pointer (from, buf);
delete [] buf; // or free (buf); if you prefer.I'm 90% sure I know what's wrong, but I'll wait for you to run these tests and see if you can find out for yourself. Iain.
I have now moved to Sweden for love (awwww). If you're in Scandinavia and want an MVP on the payroll (or happy with a remote worker), or need contract work done, give me a job! http://cv.imcsoft.co.uk/[^]
