I get the “thread 1: exc_bad_access (code=1, address=0x0)” error as the title says. How can I fix it so the error goes away? Here is my detail:
typedef struct
{
int start;
int stop;
char *strandID;
} location;
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
if (argc != 4)
{
fprintf(stderr,
"Usage is ./a.out windowfile.txt genefile.txt outputFileName");
exit(-1);
}
//const vars
const char *windowInput = argv[1];
const char *geneInput = argv[2];
const char *outputfile = argv[3];
const int windowHeader = 9;
const int geneHeader = 3;
//get size of structures -- I have debugged and these work correctly, returning the size of my structure
const int posWsize = getSize(windowInput, "+", windowHeader);
const int negWsize = getSize(windowInput, "-", windowHeader);
const int posGsize = getSize(geneInput, "+", geneHeader);
const int negGsize = getSize(geneInput, "-", geneHeader);
//declare structs
location posWindow[posWsize];
location negWindow[negWsize];

location negGene[negGsize];
//extract data here
getLocations(posWindow, negWindow, windowInput, windowHeader);
return 0;
}
void getLocations(location *posL, location *negL, const char *input,
const int header)
{
FILE *fileptr = NULL;
fileptr = fopen(input, "r"); //open file
if (fileptr == NULL)
{ //check for errors while opening
fprintf(stderr, "Error reading %s\n", input);
exit(-1);
}
char tmpLoc[20];
char tmpID[2];
int eofVar = 0;
int lineCount = 0;
while (lineCount < header)
{ //skip header and get to data
eofVar = fgetc(fileptr);
if (eofVar == '\n')
lineCount++;
}
int pCount = 0;
int nCount = 0;
while (eofVar != EOF)
{
fscanf(fileptr, "%s %s", tmpLoc, tmpID); //scan in first two strings
if (!strcmp(tmpID, "+"))
{ //if + strand
char *locTok = NULL;
locTok = strtok(tmpLoc, ".."); //tok and get values
posL[pCount].start = atoi(locTok);
locTok = strtok(NULL, "..");
posL[pCount].stop = atoi(locTok); //ERROR IS SHOWN HERE
posL[pCount].strandID = tmpID;
printf("start=%d\tstop=%d\tID=%s\tindex=%d\n", posL[pCount].start,
posL[pCount].stop, posL[pCount].strandID, pCount);
pCount++;
}
else if (!strcmp(tmpID, "-"))
{ //if - strand
char *locTok = NULL;
locTok = strtok(tmpLoc, ".."); //tok and get values
negL[nCount].start = atoi(locTok);
locTok = strtok(NULL, "..");
negL[nCount].stop = atoi(locTok);
negL[nCount].strandID = tmpID;
nCount++;
}
while ((eofVar = fgetc(fileptr)) != '\n')
{
if (eofVar == EOF)
break;
}
}
fclose(fileptr);
}
//dynamic way...same issue -- just replace this with the above if statement and use the create location function
if (!strcmp(tmpID, "+"))
{ //if + strand
int locStart;
int locStop;
locStart = atoi(strtok(tmpLoc, ".."));//tok and get values
locStop = atoi(strtok(NULL, ".."));
posL[pCount] = *createlocation(locStart, locStop, tmpID);
pCount++;
}
location *createlocation(int start, int stop, char *strandID)
{
location *tmp = NULL;
tmp = (location *) malloc(sizeof(location) * 1);
tmp->start = start;
tmp->stop = stop;
tmp->strandID = (char *) malloc(sizeof(char) * 2);
strcpy(tmp->strandID, strandID);
return tmp;
}
When I operated it, I received the error text:
Thread 1: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (code=1, address=0x0)
I appreciate any help from you.
The cause:
I find that in your program:
Base on this documentation,
strtok
is giving back a NULL pointer.If no tokens are retrieved, a null pointer is given back. It’s correct with my initial hypothesis that there is a NULL pointer deference because the address code is 0×0. However, the subsequent atoi call fails because it expects a non-NULL pointer, so the error happens.
Solution:
Exception Breakpoint in Xcode can help you resolve this error: First, let’s access to the Breakpoint Navigation, after that select Add Exception Breakpoint by clicking the Plus button in the bottom left corner.
Another way is for xc method:
Let’s attempt to exclude
char*argv[]
or both arguments in yourmain()
function.The Exception Breakpoint can also be used in Xcode.
Navigate to Breakpoint Navigation (Cmd+8). Click the + button at the bottom left, and select Add Exception Breakpoint. You can also leave it as is.
