Hi all,
i have implemented one c prog, in which i have taken 2 char pointers, and assigned them memory through malloc.Then after through some code , tht memory gets filled..

Now prob is..
at the end if i m trying to apply realloc() or free() on tht pointer, for assigned memory, its giving me following error:

for realloc()
*** glibc detected *** realloc(): invalid next size: 0x09b25a48 ***
Aborted

if i use free() , i get similar error

So wht does this error indicate ? and
how to solve it?

Reply frm u will be more than welcome..

Thank you

Sounds like a fence-post error, i.e. you write past the end of the allocated memory. Probably you either miscalculated the sizes for malloc/realloc, or a condition for a loop (in which you write to the memory) is wrong.

Thank you
