Newbie problem: Address out of bounds

Newbie problem: Address out of bounds

[Andre Kirchner]

Hi,

does anyone know what is wrong with the following
code? Somehow when the program gets inside the "if"
block it loses the value of webAddress( which is a
char[ 256 ] ), and the debuger ( I'm using KDevelop )
shows this message "webAddress=0x2f3c3e61 <Address
0x2f3c3e61 out of bounds >".

Thanks a lot,

Andre


while( getLine( theLine, sockfd ) == 0 )
  if( checkString( theLine, "href=", ".jpg" ) == 0 )
  {
    bzero( newLink, 256 );
    bzero( newTarget, 256 );

    getTargetName( newTarget, theLine );
    replaceTarget( newLink, webAddress, newTarget );
    fprintf( theFile, "%s\n", newLink );
  }

Hi Andre,

Does getLine '\0' terminate the line?

Does getLine assure that not to overrun the theLine's buffer size, including the terminator?  (And, if so, how does getLine know how big theLine's buffer is?)

The bzero function is rather non-portable, as it is not a required part of ANSI or System V.  (I think that harkens back to the days of BCPL.)  A portable alternative is memset(ptr, 0x00, 256); instead.

HTH,

Hi Eljay,

getLine.

Thanks for your help,
