Thread: why does the following code crashes

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

do it as follows,

Code:

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


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