Thread: Strange Segfault

Im having trouble with this code

Code:

int getpackagename(char *package, char **dest) {
    int x = 0;
    int y = 0;
    
    while(package[x] != '\0') {
        if(package[x] == '-') {
            ++x;
        
            if( isdigit(package[x]) != 0 ) {
                ++x;
                
                *dest = malloc( strlen(package) - x + 1 );
                
                while(package[x] != '\0') {
                    printf("x = %i\ty = %i\n", x, y);
                    *dest[y] = package[x];
                    
                    ++y;
                    ++x;
                }
                
                *dest[y] = '\0';
                
                return 0;
            }
        }
    
        ++x;
    }

    return 1;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    char package[] = "test-1.0.0";
    char *test = NULL;

    getpackagename(package, &test);
    
    printf("%s\n", test);
    
    free(test);

    return 0;
}

It gives me back

x = 6 y = 0
x = 7 y = 1

And then it crashes. I have no idea why.

Any ideas?

"(*dest)[y] = package[x];" gives me this and a crash.

.
.0
.0.

"*(*(dest)+y)=package[x];" does that same but scares me more.

yeah, i have cc0d3r. its these lines

Code:

while(package[x] != '\0') {
                    printf("x = %i\ty = %i\n", x, y);
                    *dest[y] = package[x];
                    
                    ++y;
                    ++x;
                }

I showed the out put in my first post, i dont get how it could work once and then crash.

That still crashes for me, i showed my output from it before.

Any new ideas?

Did you fix this line too:

nope, i completly forgot about that one sorry about that.

thanks
