使用malloc创建一个int *，然后在满时使用realloc

Question

In a function I created am I trying to allocate a int array dynamically to store some index values. First I create the int * with the malloc function and then let the loop store som values in it and increament the pointer each time. The problem I run in to starts when I try to use the realloc to increase the memory allocation. When I do this VS tells me it runs in to undefined behaviour and breaks the program.

The code looks like this

void showAvailable(CabinHolder *holder, Booking *booking)
{
    system("cls");

    printf("Choose cabin number \n");
    printf("Start week: &d \t End week: %d", booking->rentPeriod[0], booking->rentPeriod[1]);
    printf("------------------------------------------\n");

    int memory = 5;
    int *indexOfCabin = (int *)malloc(sizeof(int)*memory);
    int counter = 1;

    for (int i = 0; i < CABINS; i++)
    {
        if (counter == memory)
        {
            memory *= 2;
            int *expanded = realloc(indexOfCabin, (memory * sizeof(int)));
            indexOfCabin = expanded;
            expanded = NULL;
        }

        if (booking->cabin->typeOfCabin == holder->arrofCabin[i].typeOfCabin)
        {
            printf("%d. \t Cabin with number %d \t cost: %d per week\n", counter, holder->arrofCabin[i].nr, holder->arrofCabin[i].cost);
            counter++;
            indexOfCabin = &i;
            indexOfCabin++;
        }
    }

    free(indexOfCabin);
    system("pause");
}

When I debugg in VS i also se that my pointer indexOfCabin seems to be undefined inside the if statement, which I don't understand. What have I missed here?

Okay after some help in the comment section I solved the problem with this edited code segment.

void showAvailable(CabinHolder *holder, Booking *booking)
{
    system("cls");

    printf("Choose cabin number \n");
    printf("Start week: %d \t End week: %d\n", booking->rentPeriod[0], booking->rentPeriod[1]);
    printf("------------------------------------------\n");

    int memory = 5;
    int *indexOfCabin = malloc(sizeof(int)*memory);
    int counter = 1;
    int items = 0;
    int choice = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < CABINS; i++)
    {
        if (counter-1 == memory)
        {
            memory *= 2;
            indexOfCabin = realloc(indexOfCabin, (memory * sizeof(int)));
        }

        if (booking->cabin->typeOfCabin == holder->arrofCabin[i].typeOfCabin)
        {
            printf("%d. \t Cabin with number %d \t cost: %d per week\n", counter, holder->arrofCabin[i].nr, holder->arrofCabin[i].cost);
            counter++;
            indexOfCabin[items++] = i;
        }
    }
    free(indexOfCabin);
    system("pause");
}

First: Problem was indexOfCabin = &i throws away the memory you allocated, and puts the address of i into the pointer instead of what I wanted to do. Now we store the index in i in the pointer.

Second: indexOfCabin can be used like an array, eg indexOfCabin[counter] = i;. But counter needs to start at 0, and should be incremented after being used. And indexOfCabin should not be incremented
