Bus errors are rare nowadays on x86 and occur when your processor cannot even attempt the memory access requested, typically: using a processor instruction with an address that does not satisfy its alignment requirements. Segmentation faults occur when accessing memory which does not belong to your process. They are very common and are typically the … Read more
The process received a SIGPIPE. The default behaviour for this signal is to end the process. A SIGPIPE is sent to a process if it tried to write to a socket that had been shutdown for writing or isn’t connected (anymore). To avoid that the program ends in this case, you could either make the process ignore SIGPIPE#include <signal.h> … Read more
Guessing from the information I have, you’re not actually compiling the program, but trying to run it. That is, ALL_BUILD is set as your startup project. (It should be in a bold font, unlike the other projects in your solution) If you then try to run/debug, you will get the error you describe, because there … Read more
I am assuming that you are using a C99 compiler (with support for dynamically sized arrays). The problem in your code is that at the time when the compilers sees your variable declaration it cannot know how many elements there are in the array (I am also assuming here, from the compiler error that length is not … Read more
Hacky but works for me: For multi-byte types You need all the extra quotes unfortunately. This approach has the efficiency risks of macros (don’t pass a function as the argument to BYTE_TO_BINARY) but avoids the memory issues and multiple invocations of strcat in some of the other proposals here.
Forget about ASCII code checks, use isdigit or isnumber (see man isnumber). The first function checks whether the character is 0–9, the second one also accepts various other number characters depending on the current locale. There may even be better functions to do the check – the important lesson is that this is a bit more complex than it looks, because … Read more
A char in C is already a number (the character’s ASCII code), no conversion required. If you want to convert a digit to the corresponding character, you can simply add ‘0’: The ‘0’ is a character in the ASCll table.
Notice you’re not dynamically allocating the variable, which pretty much means the data inside str, in your function, will be lost by the end of the function. You should have: Then, when you call the function, the type of the variable that will receive the data must match that of the function return. So, you should … Read more
A char variable is actually an 8-bit integral value. It will have values from 0 to 255. These are almost always ASCII codes, but other encodings are allowed. 0 stands for the C-null character, and 255 stands for an empty symbol. So, when you write the following assignment: It is the same thing as this on an ASCII system. So, you can compare two char variables using … Read more
There are multiple differences. Two crucial ones are: fgets() can read from any open file, but scanf() only reads standard input. fgets() reads ‘a line of text’ from a file; scanf() can be used for that but also handles conversions from string to built in numeric types. Many people will use fgets() to read a line of data and then use sscanf() to dissect it.
