Simple question for you guys:
Given the following struct:
When declaring an instance of nodeT as follows:Code:typedef struct mystruct { char *c; int i; } mystruct;
mystruct *s = malloc(sizeof(nodeT));
s->c = malloc(sizeof(char));
s->c = 'a';
s->i = 5;
Is i created/stored on the stack or the heap?
The s pointer itself is on the stack.
Everything else is on the heap.
And s->c = 'a'; is a bug.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Do you not get a warning for this? You're assigning a char to char*, so you should get a warning about cast from integer to pointer.Code:s->c = 'a';
