Dynamic arrays

Hi,

I'm trying to use a dynamic array but for some reason it won't work. This is
my code :

int *test;
int numElements = 2;

test = (int *) malloc (numElements * sizeof(int));
if (test= NULL) printf("Can't allocate\n"); // Nothing happens here
so it's ok I guess
test[0] = 10; // <- CRASH!
printf( "test= %d\n",test[0] );

I copied it from the internet and it seems that they all do it this way?
Then why won't this work? My computer sure has enough for 2 integers...

Greetings,
Rick

Wait! I talk too fast. It does work now,
after including #include <stdlib.h> as well.


#include <stdlib.h>, is part of the program code.

When you post code to this newsgroup,
try to post the smallest complete entire program
which exhibits your problem.

Howdy folks, I've been working on a c project, compiling using gcc, and I've reached a problem. The assignment requires creation of a two-level directory file system. No files have to be added or deleted, however it must be initialized by a function during run-time to contain so many users which each contain so many directories of which each contain so many files. I've completed the program and have it running flawlessly without implementing...

Hello, I am trying to find out how Dynamic Arrays are actually stored in memory. Really, I want to know how Vectors are stored in memory, but I deduce they are stored the same way. If you have a dynamic array initialized at size 50, and it then needs to increase to size 75, what happens? Does element 49 contain some sort of pointer to the next 25 elements, or are a new 75 consecutive spots in memory allocated, and then the first 50...

Do dynamic arrays declared using ReDim have to be freed? I assume that if it's an array of dynamically created objects (e.g. Scripting.Dictionary), each one of those objects will have to be set to Nothing in a for loop, but what about the array itself? Or what if the array is dynamic but it just consists of integers or strings, not dynamically allocated objects? Does it have to be set to Nothing? Thanks, Dave

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
