释放分配的内存会产生分段错误

freeing allocated memory generates segmentation fault

我尝试从文本文件中读取,然后将每个单词放入列表节点(然后以相反的顺序打印)。

程序运行良好,但是当试图释放分配的列表节点时,程序崩溃。

在您的 deleteAllNodes 函数中,您正在释放一个指针然后访问它。您可以尝试以相反的顺序删除节点,从最后一个开始,例如使用递归函数。

void deleteAllNodes(list start)
{
    if (start != NULL)
    {
        deleteAllNodes(start->next);
        free(start);
    }
}

或者您可以坚持使用类似(未测试)的迭代向前删除:

void deleteAllNodes(list start)
{   
    list previous = NULL;
    while (start != NULL)
    {   
        if (previous != NULL)
            free(previous);
        previous = start;
        start = start->next;
    }
    if (previous != NULL)
        free(previous);
}

您的 delete all nodes 有一个错误。您释放了一个指针并尝试立即访问它。所以程序崩溃了 你可以试试这个

void deleteAllNodes(list head)
{
    list ptr = head;  
    while ((ptr = head) != NULL)
     { 
        head = head->next;         
        free (ptr);               
     }
}

将当前ptr指向head并将head指向下一个元素。删除当前指针。

据我所知,问题出在

 list newnode = (list)malloc(sizeof(list));

你的 liststruct node* 的类型定义,所以这个语句本质上是

list newnode = (list)malloc(sizeof(struct node*));

这是错误的。您正在为指向结构变量的指针分配内存,而您分配的内存应该等于结构变量本身的大小。

这里有两件事要提

  1. see why not to castmalloc()C中家人的return值。
  2. 切勿将 typedef 用于指针类型。这不是"rule",但最好坚持下去。

您的分配声明,至少,应类似于

list = malloc(sizeof*list);

除此之外,在您的 main() 函数中,

  • 首先,您使用 malloc() 将内存分配给 lst [与上述分配问题相同]
  • 然后,你分配另一个指针,createList()的return值给lst

这样,您将通过 malloc() 覆盖分配的内存,创建 memory leak。你根本不需要malloc()
