为什么在访问二级指针时出现分段错误? C语言

Why am i getting segmentation fault error while accessing a second level pointer?? C language

以下代码在 运行 时生成分段错误...只是因为我尝试 使用 p_list3(二级指针)打印其内容或为其赋值...
注意:注意每个代码块中的printf(...)差异...
完整代码在最后

struct node **p_list2 = NULL, **p_list3 = NULL;
    p_list = &list;

    while((*p_list)->next != NULL)  //Start [[WHILE1]]
    {
        p_list2 = &(*p_list)->next;
        while(*p_list2 != NULL)  //start [[WHILE2]]
        {
            printf("%s   %s   %u\n", (*p_list)->word, (*p_list2)->word, p_list3);
            p_list2 = &(*p_list2)->next;
        }  //End [[WHILE2]]
        p_list3 = p_list;
        p_list = &(*p_list)->next;
    }  //End [[WHILE1]]

虽然,这都不是

struct node **p_list2 = NULL, **p_list3 = NULL;
    p_list = &list;

    while((*p_list)->next != NULL)  //Start [[WHILE1]]
    {
        p_list2 = &(*p_list)->next;
        while(*p_list2 != NULL)  //start [[WHILE2]]
        {
            printf("%s   %s   \n", (*p_list)->word, (*p_list2)->word);
            p_list2 = &(*p_list2)->next;
        }  //End [[WHILE2]]
        p_list3 = p_list;
        p_list = &(*p_list)->next;
    }  //End [[WHILE1]]

也不是这个

struct node **p_list2 = NULL, **p_list3 = NULL;
    p_list = &list;

    while((*p_list)->next != NULL)  //Start [[WHILE1]]
    {
        p_list2 = &(*p_list)->next;
        while(*p_list2 != NULL)  //start [[WHILE2]]
        {
            printf("%s   %s   %u\n", (*p_list)->word, (*p_list2)->word, p_list3);
            p_list2 = &(*p_list2)->next;
        }  //End [[WHILE2]]
        //p_list3 = p_list;
        p_list = &(*p_list)->next;
    }  //End [[WHILE1]]

不会产生这样的错误..这里发生了什么???

/*
@@@@ PROGRAM NAME: knkcch17proj05.c
@@@@ FLAGS: -std=c99
@@@@ PROGRAM STATEMENT: 
Write a program that sorts a series of words 
entered by the user:

    Enter word: foo
    Enter word: bar
    Enter word: baz
    Enter word: quux
    Enter word:
    
    In sorted order: bar baz foo quux

Assume that each word is no more than 20 characters long. Stop reading when the 
user enters an empty word (i.e., presses Enter without entering a word). Store 
each word in a dynamically allocated string, using an array of pointers to keep 
track of the strings, as in the remind2.c program (Section 17.2). After all 
words have been read, sort the array (using any sorting technique) and then use 
a loop to print the words in sorted order. Hint: Use the read_line function to 
read each word, as in remind2.c.

@Yaachaka 我会比较狭隘地回答你的问题,只是解决分段错误的原因,并且不要评论程序是否有效。

崩溃的原因是在对 read_line 的调用中,您为 str:

传递了一个未初始化的值
char *str;
struct node **p_list = &list, *new_word;
//Get words from user
while(1)
{
    printf("Enter word: ");
    //Allocate memory of size about struct node + 10 bytes
    if((new_word = (struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node))) == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error: malloc failed.");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    //Read word
    (read_line(str, 10));
    if(!strlen(str))  //If '\n' is detected without reading character.
        break;
    //Read word is stored to node.
    strcpy(new_word->word, str);
    new_word->next = NULL;

这是一个问题,因为 read_line 期望第一个参数指向某个地方,它可以存储正在读取的行。鉴于您已经有一个未使用的缓冲区 (new_word->word),您可以通过将上面的代码更改为直接读入 new_node->word 来修复崩溃:

struct node **p_list = &list, *new_word;
//Get words from user
while(1)
{
    printf("Enter word: ");
    //Allocate memory of size about struct node + 10 bytes
    if((new_word = (struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node))) == NULL)
    {
        printf("Error: malloc failed.");
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }
    //Read word
    (read_line(new_word->word, 10));
    if(!strlen(new_word->word)) { //If '\n' is detected without reading character.
        free(new_word);
        break;
    }
    new_word->next = NULL;

只需要指针。
str 没有分配内存,char str[21]; 可以。
read_line() 需要使用 if (i < n - 1) 来确保终止零位于数组边界内。
为简单起见,每个新单词都添加到列表的开头。

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

struct node
{
    char word[21];
    struct node *next;
};

int read_line(char str[], int n);

    printf("File: %s, C Version: %ld, Date: %s, Time: %s\n\n", __FILE__, __STDC_VERSION__, __DATE__, __TIME__);

    char str[21];
    struct node *p_list = NULL;
    struct node *new_word = NULL;
    //Get words from user
    while(1)
    {
        printf("Enter word: ");
        //Read word
        read_line ( str, 21);
        if ( ! strlen ( str)) {  //If '\n' is detected without reading character.
            break;
        }
        if ( ( new_word = malloc ( sizeof *new_word)) == NULL)
        {
            printf("Error: malloc failed.");
            exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
        }
        //Read word is stored to node.
        strcpy ( new_word->word, str);

        //Load the node to beginning of list
        new_word->next = p_list;
        p_list = new_word;
    }

    //Print words in the reversed order they entered
    printf("\nIn Unsorted order: ");
    new_word = p_list;
    while ( new_word)
    {
        printf("%s  ", new_word->word);
        new_word = new_word->next;
    }
    printf("\n");

    //Sorting
    struct node *p_list2 = p_list;
    struct node *p_list3 = p_list;
    struct node *sort = p_list;

    while ( sort->next != NULL)  //Start [[WHILE1]]
    {
        p_list2 = sort->next;
        while ( p_list2 != NULL)  //start [[WHILE2]]
        {
            printf("%s   %s   %p\n", sort->word, p_list2->word, (void *)p_list3);
            p_list2 = p_list2->next;

        }  //End [[WHILE2]]
        sort = sort->next;
        p_list3 = sort;
    }  //End [[WHILE1]]

    printf("\nIn sorted order: ");
    new_word = p_list;
    while( new_word)
    {
        printf("%s  ", new_word->word);
        new_word = new_word->next;

        //free the memory.
        free( p_list);
    }

    return 0;
