printf("%1f \t %1f \t %1f\n",i,i*i,i*i*i);

y'know, you are right. In order to test this, I removed all the functions making it one big chunk of code. Without function calls and with the (short *) instead of the (short), the program ran fine!...

Thanks everybody.
Dave, the code snippet that you gave me was pretty much what I was attempting, only part of a much bigger program. I was of the opinion that the seg fault was because malloc'd...

Thanks!

Hi,

I pass a pointer to a function, and then I malloc some memory to that pointer (inside that function). I then need to return this memory to the calling function. Because the malloc'd stuff goes...
