c - 追踪段错误 11

Question

我知道段错误表明我正在尝试访问不应该/尚未分配的内存，但在我的代码中找不到触发此错误的内容。其他答案指出使用 Valgrind，但是我的本地计算机上没有编译器，并且没有管理权限将其安装在学校服务器上。任何指出错误发生位置的帮助将不胜感激。 这是头文件

给定的测试文件与我的代码一起编译。

Answer 1

在函数中:createSet()，

变量 sp 未初始化为指向结构集的实例。

所以代码应该类似于:

SET *sp = NULL; 
if( NULL == (sp = malloc( sizeof( struct set ) ) ) 
{ 
    perror( "malloc for struct set failed" ); 
    exit( EXIT_FAILURE ); 
} 

否则 sp 将包含堆栈上其所在位置的随机地址。

这是未定义的行为，可能会导致段错误事件
