This is the starting code (from "Learn C the hard way"). The goal is supposed to be to knock out the MAX_DATA and MAX_LENGTH values, and have the corresponding items dynamically alloted.
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <string.h>
#define MAX_DATA 512
#define MAX_ROWS 100
struct Address {
int id;
int set;
char name[MAX_DATA];
char email[MAX_DATA];
};
struct Database {
struct Address rows[MAX_ROWS];
};
struct Connection {
FILE *file;
struct Database *db;
};
void die(const char *message)
{
if(errno) {
perror(message);
} else {
printf("ERROR: %s\n", message);
}
exit(1);
}
void Address_print(struct Address *addr)
{
printf("%d %s %s\n",
addr->id, addr->name, addr->email);
}
void Database_load(struct Connection *conn)
{
int rc = fread(conn->db, sizeof(struct Database), 1, conn->file);
if(rc != 1) die("Failed to load database.");
}
struct Connection *Database_open(const char *filename, char mode)
{
struct Connection *conn = malloc(sizeof(struct Connection));
if(!conn) die("Memory error");
conn->db = malloc(sizeof(struct Database));
if(!conn->db) die("Memory error");
if(mode == 'c') {
conn->file = fopen(filename, "w");
} else {
conn->file = fopen(filename, "r+");
if(conn->file) {
Database_load(conn);
}
}
if(!conn->file) die("Failed to open the file");
return conn;
}
void Database_close(struct Connection *conn)
{
if(conn) {
if(conn->file) fclose(conn->file);
if(conn->db) free(conn->db);
free(conn);
}
}
void Database_write(struct Connection *conn)
{
rewind(conn->file);
int rc = fwrite(conn->db, sizeof(struct Database), 1, conn->file);
if(rc != 1) die("Failed to write database.");
rc = fflush(conn->file);
if(rc == -1) die("Cannot flush database.");
}
void Database_create(struct Connection *conn)
{
int i = 0;
for(i = 0; i < MAX_ROWS; i++) {
// make a prototype to initialize it
struct Address addr = {.id = i, .set = 0};
// then just assign it

}
}

// WARNING: bug, read the "How To Break It" and fix this

// demonstrate the strncpy bug
if(!res) die("Name copy failed");
res = strncpy(addr->email, email, MAX_DATA);
if(!res) die("Email copy failed");
}
void Database_get(struct Connection *conn, int id)
{
struct Address *addr = &conn->db->rows[id];
if(addr->set) {
Address_print(addr);
} else {
die("ID is not set");
}
}
void Database_delete(struct Connection *conn, int id)
{
struct Address addr = {.id = id, .set = 0};
conn->db->rows[id] = addr;
}
void Database_list(struct Connection *conn)
{
int i = 0;
struct Database *db = conn->db;
for(i = 0; i < MAX_ROWS; i++) {
struct Address *cur = &db->rows[i];
if(cur->set) {
Address_print(cur);
}
}
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
if(argc < 3) die("USAGE: ex17 <dbfile> <action> [action params]");
char *filename = argv[1];
char action = argv[2][0];
struct Connection *conn = Database_open(filename, action);
int id = 0;
if(argc > 3) id = atoi(argv[3]);
if(id >= MAX_ROWS) die("There's not that many records.");
switch(action) {
case 'c':
Database_create(conn);
Database_write(conn);
break;
case 'g':
if(argc != 4) die("Need an id to get");
Database_get(conn, id);
break;
case 's':
if(argc != 6) die("Need id, name, email to set");
Database_set(conn, id, argv[4], argv[5]);
Database_write(conn);
break;
case 'd':
if(argc != 4) die("Need id to delete");
Database_delete(conn, id);
Database_write(conn);

Here is what I have. I am just happy that I had something to compile, but of course it doesnt work!

Here is the error output when i try to run the program invoking the 'c' option:
Code:
ronald@laptop1 ~/c/exercise 17 $ ./ex17 db.db c
How many items do you want in the database?
4
Run number 0
Segmentation fault
I looked into the highlighted segment of code, but I dont see why it wont work....can someone point me in the right direction?
