Hello everyone ,
A quick question here about an error I seem to get around my code a lot , the program crashes at several locations with run time error 0xC0000005 .
This happens to me at the following function , which creates a user`s profile and puts it in a database later :
Where`s Profile is a struct :Code:/* The following function will create a profile in the linked list. Basically , create nodes on "top" of the head node in the linked list . */ void createProfile(char *userMail,char *userPass,short age,char *firstName,char *lastName,char *country) { char userName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]; //Will save the users - user name (the part without @gmail.com). Profiles *new_profile=(Profiles *)malloc(sizeof(Profiles *)); if(new_profile!=NULL) //Check if not NULL , we can only continue if the malloc operation was successfull. { strcpy(new_profile->userMail,userMail); strcpy(new_profile->password,userPass); new_profile->age=age; strcpy(new_profile->firstName,firstName); strcpy(new_profile->lastName,lastName); strcpy(new_profile->country,country); p_heap[numberOfProfiles]=new_profile; p_heap[numberOfProfiles]->signedIn=0; getUser(userMail,userName); strcpy(new_profile->userName,userName); }//if else createProfile(userMail,userPass,age,firstName,lastName,country); //If the malloc operation failed - try again. return; }//createProfile
If I copy this to a clean code (just the struct , this function and main) it works flawlessly , but in my code it crashes on the second timeCode:typedef struct Profile { char userMail[MAX_MAIL_LENGTH]; //uses the MAX_MAIL_LENGTH macro (40 as for now) for the mail of ones profile , acts as user name . I believe that this is enough. char password[MAX_PASS_LENGTH]; //uses the MAX_PASS_LENGTH macro (8 as requested) , this will be a string that holds up to 8 chars and one for '\0' . char firstName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]; //use the MAX_NAME_LENGTH (20 as for now) for the first name , I think it is enough , could be raised if I will differ my thoughts. char lastName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]; //^ ditto . char country[MAX_COUNTRY_LENGTH]; //The country will be validated from a list that will be saved in a file. short age; //Saving as much memory as we can . char phone[MAX_PHONE_LENGTH]; //Uses the MAX_PHONE_LENGTH macro (11 = 10 + 1 for '\0' for now) , will be used to save the phone number . enum Smartphone{ //An enum denoting if one has a smartphone or has not , this for suggesting an app , which we wont really have , yet again .. noPhone=0,yesPhone} Smartphone; enum Sinefield_or_friends{ //An enum denoting if one is prefering sinefield , or rather friends as a tv show . sinefield=0,friends} S_or_f; enum Dogs_or_cats{ //An enum denoting if one is prefering dogs or cats as a pet . dogs=0,cats} D_or_c; enum Jackey_got_an_sms{ //An enum denoting if one has sent Jackie from the show "The big brother" an SMS text for to win the million NIS . noSms=0,yesSms} J_got_sms; short signedIn; //How many times the user have logged in. short filledAdditionalInfo; //If one has filled additional information (boolean & phone number) char userName[MAX_NAME_LENGTH]; //This is the user name (the part without @gmail.com). short pals[MAX_PROFILES]; //Will save indexes of profiles which are pals with the current profile . short wantToBePals[MAX_PROFILES]; //Will save indexes of profiles which would like to be pals with the current profile . short blockedPals[MAX_PROFILES]; //Will save indexes of profiles which are blocked . //To be done - dates . } Profiles;
I call the creatProfile(...) function .
When I checked it - it crashes at the allocation point :
Profiles *new_profile=(Profiles *)malloc(sizeof(Profiles *));
Tried using calloc instead , same problem .
This really drives me mad , I don`t know what and how to fix it .
Any help would be extremely appreciated ,
Thanks ,
Danny .
