Finally wrote the function I wanted to make with help of pass-by-reference.

The code below would allow to load a ASCII file content (hopefully with binary file too) into an uninitialized string.
...

Thanks Salem! That was actually helpful. Here's the working code below.




#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

void my_strcpy(char **dest, char *src) {
*dest = (char *)...

Saying there is none and saying you can simulate it is a contradicting statement. Just as saying there no pointers in Java but you can fake one.

Of course, I'm aware that C uses pointers to fake...

already added 1 -> malloc(sizeof(strlen(src) + 1));

still the same. app crashes. :(

I actually just forgot the **. edited the post, please check again.

I'm actually not after the replication of the functionality of strcpy nor strdup. I'm after the passing-by-reference in C.

Exactly how do I do that? I'm getting segmentation fault with this test....

I'm trying to make my own strcpy. A version of strcpy that will allow this,



#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

int main(void) {
char *content1;
