As far as I can tell I've followed the advice given by other users, but I still get a segfault when I try to return a pointer to an array. The printf in main returns nothing, so I'm guessing that the pointer isn't to anything on the heap?
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int * stringy(int length){
int *ptr = malloc(sizeof(int)*length);
int i;
for(i = 0; 1 < length; i++){
ptr[i] = i;
}
return(ptr);
}
void main(int argc, char **argv){
int strlen = 12;
int *newptr = stringy(strlen);
printf("%d\n",newptr[0]);
free(newptr);
}
