Thread: Free allocated space

I'm calling a function that's allocating space and filling a char array.

Code:

char **array;
size = split(&array, string, delim);

free(array)

int split(char ***trgtArrray, char *string, char delim) {
  [...]
  (*trgtArray) = (char **) malloc(count);
  [...]

  return count;
}

When I try to free **array it crashes. What am I doing wrong?

> (*trgtArray) = (char **) malloc(count);
Maybe, did you really do this?
(*trgtArray) = (char **) malloc(count * sizeof(char*) );

Also, see the FAQ on casting malloc in C programs.
Are you secretly compiling this as a C++ program?
