Riddle me this...
Using gcc I have a setup routine that I'm building up. I'm calculating a 3D array of doubles, an array of matrices if you will. If I put the arrays on the stack the program goes fubar, but if I make them globals all is OK. What gives? I was being lazy & because I know the dimensions I was avoiding the malloc().
Snippet sanitized for your convience.
Code:#include <stdlib.h> #include <math.h> /* If these are moved into the function then fubar */ double Mat[512][20][20]; double Mat1[20][20] = { /* Constant values go here */ }; void Init( void ); int main( int argc, char** argv ) { Init(); } void Init( void ) { int i, j, k, m; // Can't put these here?! But I want to because they're temp arrays //double Mat[512][20][20]; //double Mat1[20][20] = { /* Constant values go here */ }; /* Init matrices */ for ( i = 0; i < 32; ++i ) for ( j = 0; j < 32; ++j ) Mat1[i][j] = Mat[1][i][j] = Mat1[i][j] / 10000; /* Now multiply matrices out */ for ( m = 2; m < 512; ++m ) for ( i = 0; i < 20; ++i ) for ( j = 0; j < 20; ++j ) for ( k = 0; k < 20; ++k ) Mat[m][i][j] += Mat1[i][k] * Mat[m-1][k][j]; /* Testing */ for ( i = 0; i < 20; ++i ) { for ( j = 0; j < 20; ++j ) printf( "%6.4f ", Mat1[i][j] ); printf( "\n" ); for ( j = 0; j < 20; ++j ) printf( "%6.4f ", Mat[511][i][j] ); printf( "\n\n" ); } }
