[英]Freeing a trie tree
So i found some examples of trie trees on line and deiced to try them out to help for a game im working on that will contain a trie tree of all the words in the dictionary. 因此,我在网上找到了特里树的一些示例,并专门尝试了它们,以帮助我正在开发的游戏中包含字典中所有单词的特里树。 The example i found on line did not have any implementation of a freeTree to avoid memory leaks so i am trying to make my own.
我在网上发现的示例没有freeTree的任何实现,以避免内存泄漏,因此我尝试自己创建一个。 However I have not worked with c in a while and am running into problems.
但是我有一段时间没有使用c了,遇到了问题。
char keys[][8] = {"the", "a", "there", "answer", "any",
"by", "bye", "their"};
char output[][32] = {"Not present in trie", "Present in trie"};
struct TrieNode *root = getNode();
// Construct trie
int i;
for (i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(keys); i++){
insert(root, keys[i]);
}
// Search for different keys
printf("%s --- %s\n", "the", output[search(root, "the")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "these", output[search(root, "these")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "their", output[search(root, "their")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "thaw", output[search(root, "thaw")] );
freeTree(root);
printf("test after free\n");
printf("%s --- %s\n", "the", output[search(root, "the")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "these", output[search(root, "these")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "their", output[search(root, "their")] );
printf("%s --- %s\n", "thaw", output[search(root, "thaw")] );
this is a simple test im running and the results after the free are the same as before 这是一个正在运行的简单测试,免费后的结果与之前相同
the --- Present in trie
these --- Not present in trie
their --- Present in trie
thaw --- Not present in trie
test after free
the --- Present in trie
these --- Not present in trie
their --- Present in trie
thaw --- Not present in trie
here is the structure im using 这是即时通讯使用的结构
struct TrieNode
{
struct TrieNode *children[ALPHABET_SIZE];
bool isLeaf;
};
and the free implementation 和免费实施
void freeChildren(struct TrieNode *node){
int i;
if (node->isLeaf == false){
for (i=0;i<ALPHABET_SIZE;i++){
if (node->children[i] != NULL){
freeChildren(node->children[i]);
}
}
}
if (node != NULL){
node = NULL;
free(node);
}
}
void freeTree(struct TrieNode *root){
freeChildren(root);
free(root);
}
When i create a new tree node i malloc the memory for it so i know that i need to free. 当我创建一个新的树节点时,我为此分配了内存,因此我知道我需要释放内存。
I think your problem is this part: 我认为您的问题是这部分:
if (node != NULL){
node = NULL;
free(node);
}
Well, you need to free it then set it to NULL. 好吧,您需要释放它,然后将其设置为NULL。 Otherwise you already lose the address anyway.
否则,您已经丢失了地址。
void freeChildren(struct TrieNode *node){
int i;
if (node != NULL && node->isLeaf == false){//NULL check important only for the root
for (i=0;i<ALPHABET_SIZE;i++){
if (node->children[i] != NULL){
freeChildren(node->children[i]);
node->children[i] = NULL]; //you have to remove the address, otherwise it stays, just is no longer allocated (but it is still possible to access it, though it might crash or do whatever else)
}
}
}
if (node != NULL){ //again only root could be NULL
free(node);//this has to go first
//node = NULL; this has no meaning, as this is the local variable, not the place you passed it to
}
}
void freeTree(struct TrieNode *root){
freeChildren(root);
// free(root); this is already done in the freeChildren
// you might want to realloc the root there though, as otherwise you don't have anything allocated to root
root = NULL;
}
