free() multiple allocation error in C

free() multiple allocation error in C
=============== =============== ======

Hi!
I have written a program in C on PC with Windows 2000 in a Visual C
environment.
I have an error in freeing multiple allocation as follows:
1. I allocated an array of pointer.
2. I Read line by line from a text file.
3. I allocated memory for the read line.
4. I wrote the pointer from malloc() to the array of pointers.
5. The problem is in the free() function. When I tried to free in a
loop the
allocated lines, the Visual C throw me with an exception.
6. I wanted to know why?. I tried also to free in the opposite order I
have
allocated them, but this also doesn't work.
7. Does anyone has an idea?
8. Please send answer to a.*****@solidgr oup.com .
9. Thanks in advance.
Ariel Ze'evi.

Check if u are trying to free the memory which is freed before..

Why are you using sizeof(char)? If you had to multiply 7*3, would you
write it as (7*1) * (3*1)? No? So why are you doing completely pointless
multiplication by 1? Hint: sizeof(char) is 1. Period. Hence it's
completely pointless in virtually every case you'll ever see it used.

That said, you're allocating one too few characters. For example, if your
line in the file is ABC\n, your "line" variable will contain "ABC\n\0".
That's 5 chars - but strlen only returns 4; it doesn't include the \0 at
the end. So you're short one byte.
strcpy(FileBuff[i],line);
And, of course, this right here may well puke and die as you try to
merrily write past the end of the allocated region.
for(i=0; i<LinesNumber; i++)

At a guess, since none of your strings are actually strings - lacking
the \0 - I'd suspect you're trashing the data that malloc/free use to
track what's been allocated.

It's also entirely possible that your sort routine is mucking things up;
if it's doing string-based comparisons on non-strings, bad things will
happen there, too.

Passing the base address of the pointer array should
free the entire memory you allocated in step 1 (I assume you
allocated one big chunk). As somebody posted before, you might
be trying to free the same memory twice.

Why shouldnt one cast malloc ? I use gcc 3.2, and it does crib if I dont
cast malloc. I might be missing your point somehow. Please enlighten.

To expand a bit:

If you don't include <stdlib.h> the compiler does not see a prototype
for `malloc()` and is forced to assume it returns an `int`. If you
don't cast, it will then complain about assigning an `int` to a
pointer. If you, however, do cast, compiler will try to interpret the
pointer returned by `malloc()` as an `int` and then convert that `int`
back to your pointer type. Therein lies the monster of Undefined
Behaviour, and weird things may happen.

Hello, I have data in an Access table that I would like to export to multiple HTML tables.

If realloc() finds it necessary to move the memory block, then does it free() the previously allocated block?
