C：strtok结构体中的指针

Question

I have struct with this definition:

typedef struct gRow{
    char *txt;
    char *fileName;
    int line;
} gRow;

and i want to use strtok on the txt string. so, in some function that has gRow *row , i do this:

strtok(row->txt, SEPERATOR_CHARACTERS);

and this is the point where i get Segmentation Fault. if i replace it with:

strtok(strdup(row->txt), SEPERATOR_CHARACTERS);

it works just fine. any ideas why?

Thanks.

Shahar.

Answer 1

请注意，strtok会修改字符串-如果您的txt指针指向只读字符串（例如const字符串文字），那么您将获得异常。

Answer 2

You need to allocate the memory for gRow *row ; Then it will work fine, I hope.

Answer 3

strtok modifies the string given to it. If you don't have the right to modify it, you might get a Segmentation Fault. strdup prevents that by copying the string.

Answer 4

strtok modifies its first argument.

In case 1 looks like you were passing a pointer to char constant which could not be modified.

and in case 2 you were passing a modifiable copy of it returned by strdup .
