i have this function that reads a line from a file character by character and inserts it into a NSString. RANDOMNLY the system crashes with this error:
malloc: *** error for object 0x1e1f6a00: incorrect checksum for freed
object - object was probably modified after being freed.
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
function:
NSDictionary *readLineAsNSString(FILE *f,int pospass,
BOOL testata, int dimensioneriga)
{
char *strRet = (char *)malloc(BUFSIZ);
int size = BUFSIZ;
BOOL finito=NO;
int pos = 0;
int c;
fseek(f,pospass,SEEK_SET);
do{ // read one line
c = fgetc(f);
//Array expansion
if (pos >= size-1) {
size=size+BUFSIZ;
strRet = (char *)realloc(strRet, size);
}
if(c != EOF) {
strRet[pos] = c;
pos=pos+1;
}
if(c == EOF) {
finito=YES;
}
} while(c != EOF && c != '\n');
if (pos!=0) {
for (int i = pos; i<=strlen(strRet)-1; i++) //size al posto di pos
{
strRet[i] = ' ';
}
}
NSString *stringa;
if (pos!=0) {
stringa=[NSString stringWithCString:strRet encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
} else {
stringa=@"";
}
long long sizerecord;
if (pos!=0) {
sizerecord= (long long) [[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%ld",sizeof(char)*(pos)] longLongValue];
} else {
sizerecord=0;
}
pos = pospass + pos;
NSDictionary *risultatoc = @{st_risultatofunzione: stringa,
st_criterio: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d",pos],
st_finito: [NSNumber numberWithBool:finito],
st_size: [NSNumber numberWithLongLong: sizerecord]
};
//free
free(strRet);
return risultatoc;
}
where "finito" is a flag, "pos" is the position in the file line,"pospass" is the position in the entire file, "c" is the character, "strRet" is the line and BUFSIZ is 1024. Each file has n line with the same lenght (for file).
Thanks!!!
