*pointer was nullptr* error in C programming

Question

I have a serious problame.

at the line **c = (int*)malloc(size1 * sizeof(int*)); the compiler gives me this error which I don't really know what it says.

Unhandled exception thrown: read access violation.
c was nullptr. occurred

I don't know what I'm doing wrong.. I initialize every pointer like this.

void BuildMatrix(int ***, int, int);
void FreeMatrix(int ***, int);
void PrintMatrix(int **, int, int);
int **MultiplyMatrixes(int **, int**, int, int, int);

int main() {
    int **matrix1 = NULL, **matrix2 = NULL, **matrix3 = NULL;
    int * newCol = NULL;
    int size1, size2, size3, newRow;

    printf("-How many rows in the first matrix?: ");
    scanf("%d", &size1);
    printf("-How many columns in the first matrix and second?[size2, size3]: ");
    scanf("%d %d", &size2, &size3);  /*size2 = rows of matrix2.*/

    /*Build both matrices*/
    printf("-First matrix input.\n");
    BuildMatrix(&matrix1, size1, size2);
    PrintMatrix(matrix1, size1, size2);
    printf("-Second matrix input.\n");
    BuildMatrix(&matrix2, size2, size3);
    PrintMatrix(matrix2, size2, size3);

    /*Combine the 2 matrices to a new matrix*/
    matrix3 = MultiplyMatrixes(matrix1, matrix2, size1, size2, size3);
    FreeMatrix(&matrix2, size2); //Free the second matrix

    printf("\n-Multiplied matrix: \n");
    PrintMatrix(matrix3, size1, size3);

    FreeMatrix(&matrix3, size1);

Answer 1

(*pMat)[i] = (int *)malloc(col * sizeof(int*));

will be

(*pMat)[i] = malloc(col * sizeof(int));

You have allocated space for col number of int* where you are reading int-s.

Also

**c = (int*)malloc(size1 * sizeof(int*));

will be

c = malloc(size1 * sizeof(int*));

Otherwise you were trying to dereference NULL value which triggered the error you got.

Also the loop will be

for (i = 0; i < size1; i++) {
    c[i] = malloc(size3 * sizeof(int));
    if (c[i] == NULL) {
        printf("*Not enough RAM.\nTerminating.\n");
        FreeMatrix(&c, size1);
        exit(1);
    }

    for (j = 0; j < size3; j++) {
        c[i][j]=0;
        for (k = 0; k < size2; k++) {
            c[i][j] += (a[i][k] * b[k][j]);
        }
    }
}

Don't cast the return value of malloc.
