Hi,
I'm new to this list, but I've searched the archives (a little bit) to
find a solution to my problem and haven't found anything.
I've an application running on an amd64 machine. This app crashes while
allocating memory of size 300:
suffix = malloc(sizeof(char) * 300);
When run under GDB, I get the following bt:
*** glibc detected *** malloc(): memory corruption: 0x00000000005343f0 ***
Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted.
0x0000002a96214de0 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
(gdb) where
#0 0x0000002a96214de0 in raise () from /lib/libc.so.6
#1 0x0000002a96216290 in abort () from /lib/libc.so.6
#2 0x0000002a9624b06e in __fsetlocking () from /lib/libc.so.6
#3 0x0000002a962518fa in free () from /lib/libc.so.6
#4 0x0000002a96252d4b in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6
<snipped>
Any ideas as to why this could be happening? How can I debug this
problem? And why is malloc() calling free()?
Any help or pointers would be of great help.
Srinidhi.
