Thread: Runtime error

There is an error of a runtime but I can't figure why it is. I assumed at first it was a syntax error but that is not the case. Well I just need to know what it is suppose to do:

Code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <ctype.h>
#include <sys/time.h>

typedef int int32;
typedef char int8;

void xorStringRounds(int8  *output, int8  *pbDataOne, const int8  *pbDataTwo, int32 length)
{
	int32 i = 0;

	for(i=0; i<length; i++)
	{
		output[i] = (int8)(pbDataOne[i] ^ pbDataTwo[i]);
	}

	return;
}

void itoa( int32 num, int8  *alpha, int32 radix )
{
	if( radix == 10 )
	{
		sprintf(alpha, "%i", num);
	}
	else if( radix == 16 )
	{
		sprintf(alpha, "%X", num);
	}
}

int8 *oldModString(int32 modifier, const int8  *pbDataOne, int32 length)
{
	int8  leading[3];
	int32 ileading;
	int8 * tempStr = NULL;
	int8 * ret;
	int32 i = 0;

	itoa(modifier/2, leading, 10);
	ileading = atoi(leading);
	tempStr = (int8 *) malloc(8);
	ret = (int8 *) malloc(length);
	memset(tempStr, 0, 8);
	tempStr[0] = 0;

	if( (modifier+1)%2 == 0 ) {
		tempStr[0] = (int8)((ileading<<4) + 8);
	}
	else {
		tempStr[0] = (int8)(ileading<<4);
	}

	for(i=0; i<(length>>3); i++)
	{
		xorStringRounds(ret+i*8, tempStr, pbDataOne+i*8, 8);
	}
	free(tempStr);
	return ret;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int8 data[32];

	memset(data, 0x0A, sizeof(data));
	int8 *resp = oldModString(0xFF, data, sizeof(data));

	free(resp);

	return 0;
}

So Learner87 did you get the exact errors and its issues in the code. If yes, please post it so that it could help others too...
