I have started to work on a program which implements a structure called "PhoneBook" having two members: "length" and "allocatedSpace", both of type "unsigned int". The structure is dynamically allocated. The two members of the structure are assigned in an external function called "InitializePhoneBook". Now, when I try to print the values of the two members of the structure inside the "main" function I get a "Segmentation fault" error.
PhoneBook.h
#ifndef PHONEBOOK_H
#define PHONEBOOK_H
struct PhoneBook
{
unsigned int length;
unsigned int allocatedSpace;
};
void InitializePhoneBook(struct PhoneBook *phoneBook);
void ClearPhoneBook(struct PhoneBook *phoneBook);
#endif
PhoneBook.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "PhoneBook.h"
void InitializePhoneBook(struct PhoneBook *phoneBook)
{
phoneBook = malloc(sizeof(struct PhoneBook) * 1);
phoneBook->length = 0;
phoneBook->allocatedSpace = 1000;
}
void ClearPhoneBook(struct PhoneBook *phoneBook)
{
free(phoneBook);
}
main.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "PhoneBook.h"
int main(void)
{
struct PhoneBook *phoneBook;
InitializePhoneBook(phoneBook);
printf("%d %d\n", phoneBook->length, phoneBook->allocatedSpace);
ClearPhoneBook(phoneBook);
return 0;
}
Running "./a.out" with "gdb" I get:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000400621 in main () at ./main.c:12
12 printf("%u %u\n", phoneBook->length, phoneBook->allocatedSpace);
