hi
i want to create an array of strings .I know the number of items that
the array will contain but the size of each string will be different
and will not be known at compile time.
eg: in
char * mynames[]
mynames[0]="mathew"
mynames[1]="gordon_bro wn"
mynames[2]="F:\gordon\doc s\mycv.txt"
how can i allocate the memory for this array? I know malloc() and
free() need to be used but not sure since i am only a beginner
thanx in adv

He specifically says above that the sizes of the strings will not be
known at compile time.
He also gives an example in which they are, so he might be confused.
He also uses some odd characters in his example. What, pray tell, does
\g do? Or \d? \m?

I think that problem was addressed several days ago.

Hi there! I`me currently trying to write some simple programs in C.
For one such program i created globals.h file. In that file i defined a structure of type _client, and a pointer of that type:
struct _client{
int fd; // file descriptor
struct sockaddr_in sock_name;
} * client;
Later in that program i do:
client = (struct _client *) malloc(sizeof(struct _client));

hi all,
I trying to write an array of integers into a text
file.While writing into the file it works.I used fwrite function, but
when I read the same file using fread or fscanf it fails and it prints
some junk.I am not opening the file in binary mode, there are no
characters which will terminate the fscanf function operation.How to
write and read the integer array .
Thanks in advance.

int val;
char *data;
data = malloc(sizeof *data);

Hi,
I'm trying to make an array of pointers to 'TwoCounts' structs, where
the size of the array is arraySize. Right now I'm just mallocing
enough space for all the pointers to the structs, and mallocing space
for the pointer 'countPtr' in each struct, but do I need to do
anything else? Thanks.
typedef struct TwoCounts {
int *countPtr;

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
