This is my code, Tuple.c, it produces a SegFault at the line with a comment saying so:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdarg.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
void dbwait();
typedef struct STuple {
int tSize;
void** values;
} Tuple;
Tuple* CreateTuple(int n_args, ...) {
va_list varlist;
va_start(varlist, n_args);
int varsSize;
void** vars = (void**)malloc(n_args * sizeof(void*));
for (int i = 0; i < n_args; i++) {
void* arg = va_arg(varlist, void*);
varsSize += sizeof(arg);
vars[i] = arg;
printf("Arg ptr = %pn", arg);
}
// Size of all of the arguments + size of an int value (varsSize) since Tuple has an array of void* and a single int.
Tuple* t = (Tuple*)malloc(varsSize + sizeof(varsSize));
t->values = vars;
t->tSize = n_args;
va_end(varlist);
return t;
}
void FreeTuple(Tuple* t) {
printf("Freeing tuple at %pn", (void*)t);
free(t->values);
free(t);
}
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
Tuple* rt = CreateTuple(3, 625, 173, 50);
int length = rt->tSize;
printf("%in", length); // Prints 3, as defined in the call to CreateTuple
dbwait();
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
printf("index = %i: ", i);
dbwait();
void* ptr = rt->values[i];
printf("At ptr %p, ", ptr); dbwait();
int value = *((int*)ptr); // SegFault Occurs here!
printf("with value = %dn", value);
dbwait();
}
dbwait();
FreeTuple(rt);
return 0;
}
void dbwait() {
char* stop = (char*)malloc(sizeof(char));
scanf("%c", stop);
free(stop);
}
I know for a fact that the address assigned to ptr
at ptr = rt->values[i];
is correct since whenever I copy that address as its printed from gdb and do print (address), it prints out the correct value of 625.
Why am I getting a SegFault when the address correctly points to an integer?
EDIT: Clearly I need to say that I'm very new to C and have next to no experience with pointers, otherwise I'll get down voted for not knowing very much C. This experiment is a deep dive into handling pointers and dereferencing. I've replaced the current code content of my question with my entire tuple.c file, shown above.
