I have a structure defined as a char** array containing strings. I don't know how to run printf on its contents.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#ifndef STRUCT_STRING_ARRAY
#define STRUCT_STRING_ARRAY
typedef struct s_string_array
{
int size;
char** array;
} string_array;
#endif
void my_print_words_array(string_array* param_1)
{
int len = param_1->size;
char **d = param_1->array;
for(int i = 0 ; i < len;i++){
printf("%s\n", d[i]);
}
}
int main(){
struct s_string_array *d;
d->size = 2;
char **my_arr = (char *[]){"hello", "world"};//this init is fine
d->array = my_arr;
my_print_words_array(d);
return 0 ;
}
The main function gives me segfault error. What's wrong?
There is no sense to declare a pointer to the structure
struct s_string_array *d;
moreover that is not initialized and has indeterminate value that further is a reason of undefined behavior.
What you are trying to achieve is the following
#include <stdio.h>
typedef struct s_string_array
{
int size;
char** array;
} string_array;
void my_print_words_array( const string_array *param_1 )
{
for ( int i = 0; i < param_1->size; i++ )
{
puts( param_1->array[i] );
}
}
int main( void )
{
string_array d =
{
.size = 2,
.array = (char *[]){"hello", "world"}
};
my_print_words_array( &d );
return 0 ;
}
The program output is
hello
world
