My code is like this:
int find_test(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char line[MAX_LINES];
int c, except = 0, found = 0, number = 0;
long lineno = 0;
int i = 0;
while(--argc > 0 && (*++argv)[0] == '-'){
while(c = *++argv[0]){
switch(c){
case 'x':
except = 1;
break;
case 'n':
number = 1;
break;
default:
printf("find:illegal option %c\n", c);
argc = 0;
found = -1;
break;
}
}
}
if(argc != 1){
printf("Usage:find -x -n pattern\n");
}else{
while(getline(line, MAX_LENGTH) > 0){
lineno++;
if((strstr(line, *argv) != NULL) != except){
if(number)
printf("%ld:", lineno);
printf("%s\n", line);
found++;
}
}
}
return found;
}
getline like this:
int getline(char *line, int maxline)
{
char *p = line;
int c;
while(maxline-- && (c = getchar()) != EOF && c != '\n'){
*line++ = c;
}
if(maxline > 0)
*line = '\0';
return line - p;
}
When I use gcc -Wall -O2 -g a.c -o a.out, and execute a.out -x -n 111<find_test, where find_test is just my test data:
line1:111111111111111
line2:222222222222222
line3:222222222222222
line4:444444444444444
line2:kasdskskdk
I got the error message:

but if I use gcc -Wall -O2 -g -fno-stack-protector a.c -o a.out and execute a.out -x -n 111<find_test everything is ok. I could't find the reason. Can anyone help?
You seem to have mixed up MAX_LINES and MAX_LENGTH. Looks like you allocate space for the former, but what you read in is the latter.
int find_test(int argc, char *argv[])
{
char line[MAX_LINES]; <-------------
int c...
....
while(getline(line, MAX_LENGTH) > 0){ <-------
BTW, why don't you use fgets() instead of getline()?
but,if i use gcc -Wall -O2 -g -fno-stack-protector a.c -o a.out,and execute a.out -x -n 111 < find_test, everything is ok
No. Most definitely everything is not OK. You are still overwriting a memory area; the overwrite may be "mostly harmless" now and on this specific platform, but it is still potentially lethal. In another context, the same error, unless some protection were in place (luckily, nowadays it very often is -- but you can't count on luck!) might allow a remote attacker to gain control of your machine. If you were to try with longer lines, chances are that your "OK" program with no stack protector would segfault again (or, for more complex programs, return incorrect results or even cause damage to the system).
