why does the following code crashes

[psychedelic_fur]

Hi Friends,
can anyone tell me why does the following code crashes

void init (char** ptr, char initchar, int len )
{
memset ( *ptr, initchar, len );
}


void main()
{
char ary[10];
init( (char**)&ary, 'b', 10 );
}

[no-one]

because you sending a single dimensional array to a multi-dimensional pointer,

do it as follows,



void init (char* ptr, char initchar, int len )
{
memset (ptr, initchar, len );
}


int main()
{
char ary[10];
init(ary, 'b', 10 );
return 0;
}
