recursive sort

I am writing recursive function to sort a small array. It is supposed to be the selection sort, and I know there is something wrong with it. In DevC++ works OK, sorts, output good etc. In Vis C++ makes a mess of my array, adds some new numbers. In ggc on my unix server, there is simply core dumped. I think I must have gone out of array boundaries??? Could someone take a look at my code and see what I might be doing wrong?

Code:

---

#define LEN 10
   
int find_large(int [], int);
void swap(int *, int *);
void selec_sort(int [], int);
void seed_array(int [], int);
   
int main()
{
  int array[LEN];
     
  srand(time(NULL));
 
  seed_array(array, LEN);
 
  selec_sort(array, LEN);
 
  return 0;
}

---

and the functions def:

Code:

---

void seed_array(int a[], int n)
{
    int i;
   
    for(i = 0; i < n; i++)  {
      a[i] = rand() % 50 + 1;
      printf("Array[%d] is %d\n", i, a[i]);
    }
   
}

int find_large(int a[], int n)
{
   
  int large = a[0];
  int maxi, i;
     
     
  for(i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
      if(a[i] > large)
      {
          large = a[i];
          maxi = i;
      }
  }
     
  return maxi;
} 


void swap(int *x, int *y)
{
  int temp;
     
  temp = *x;
  *x = *y;
  *y = temp;
} 

void selec_sort(int a[], int n)
{
    int large_ind;
   
    if(n > 1)
    {
        large_ind = find_large(a, n);
       
        swap(&a[large_ind], &a[n-1]);
        selec_sort_rec(a, n-1);
       
    }else
        return;
   
   
    return;
}

---

Code:

---

gcc -W -Wall -ansi -pedantic -O2 hello.c
hello.c: In function `find_large':
hello.c:40: warning: `maxi' might be used uninitialized in this function

---

On closer examination, it seems that if the largest value in the array is indeed at a[0], then you will never set maxi, and you'll return some random value.
Obviously using some random value as an array index leads to some "bad news" for you.

Thanks, Salem. It works now well. And thanks for showing me how to check for errors in unix, none of my instructors have ever mentioned this option.
