除了我之前的问题Dynamically allocating an array in a function in C
,如果我的一个结构字段本身就是指针,则它似乎不起作用。
我现在要做的是:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>

typedef struct  myData {
    unsigned char* dataBuffer;
    int lengthInBytes;
}myData;


// suppose this is dynamic. it return a value according to some parameter;
int howManyDataBuffers() {
    // for this demo assume 5.
    return 5;
}

// this just fills data for testing (the buffer is set with its length as content. exp:3,3,3 or 5,5,5,5,5)
int fillData(int length, myData* buffer) {
   buffer->dataBuffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(length);
   memset(buffer->dataBuffer,length,length);
   buffer->lengthInBytes = length;
   return 1;
}

int createAnArrayOfData(myData** outArray,int* totalBuffers) {

   // how many data buffers?
   int neededDataBuffers = howManyDataBuffers();

   // create an array of pointers
   *outArray =(myData*)malloc(neededDataBuffers * sizeof(myData));

   // fill the buffers with some data for testing
   for (int k=0;k<neededDataBuffers;k++) {
       fillData(k*10,outArray[k]);
   }

   // tell the caller the size of the array
   *totalBuffers = neededDataBuffers;

   return 1;
}


int main(int argc, const char * argv[]) {

   printf("Program Started\n");

   myData* arrayOfBuffers;
   int totalBuffers;
   createAnArrayOfData(&arrayOfBuffers,&totalBuffers);

   for (int j=0;j<totalBuffers;j++) {
       printf("buffer #%d has length of %d\n",j,arrayOfBuffers[j].lengthInBytes);
    }

   printf("Program Ended\n");

   return 0;
}

结果是此行的访问不正确:
buffer->dataBuffer = (unsigned char*)malloc(length);

我会感谢你帮我找出我做错了什么。
谢谢。

最佳答案

问题是,您正在分配一个结构数组,但使用它时(通过outArray[k])就好像它是一个指针数组一样。呼叫

fillData( k*10, &(*outArray)[k] );

相反
区别在于:
outArray[k] == *(outArray+k)这意味着您在outArray + k*sizeof(myData*)字节处取消引用地址。但那个地方没有有效的地址。
&(*outArray)[k]首先取消引用存储在位置outArray的地址,该位置是由结构数组的起始地址malloc()返回的地址。然后在数组中传递第k个结构的地址,这是您想要的(如果您愿意,也可以编写(*outArray)+k而不是&(*outArray)[k])。
