I have this structure which i am trying to initialize using the following code. It gets run time error when trying to initialize "finger_print"
What is wrong with it?
typedef struct fpinfo
{
unsigned long chunk_offset;
unsigned long chunk_length;
unsigned char fing_print[33];
}fpinfo;
the function:
struct fpinfo* InitHTable(struct fpinfo ht[][B_ENTRIES])
{
unsigned char garb[33]={0};
for (int j = 0; j < BUCKETS; ++j)
{
for (int k = 0; k < B_ENTRIES; ++k)
{
ht[j][k].chunk_offset=0;
ht[j][k].chunk_length=0;
strcpy((char*)ht[j][k].fing_print[32],(const char*)garb);
//ht[j][k].fing_print[32]=0;
}
}
curr_tanker=1;
return &ht[0][0];
}
It is the same with strncpy()
strcpy((char*)ht[j][k].fing_print[32],(const char*)garb);
You're treating the last character of fing_print
as a pointer and attempting to write to it. Perhaps you meant:
strcpy((char*)ht[j][k].fing_print,(const char*)garb);
