堆栈溢出，指针在C中

Question

I'm new in C, and I'm trying some exercises that I found.

In one of the exercises I'm trying to use a pointer to a string (a char array), but it doesn't work. It compiles, but when is executed, it throws "stack overflow" (well, I think is an "stack overflow" because I have it in spanish).

These are the problematic lines:

//This is the variable declaration, before this, there is the "main function" declaration
char entrada[100];
char *ult=entrada;
char cantidadstr[10];
int i,j,k = 0;
int res;

scanf ("%s",entrada);
printf ("\n%s",entrada);

//Here crashes
printf ("Hola %s",ult);
while (*ult != "\0"){

//And here there's more code

Thank you in advance!!

EDIT

(I can't answer me :)) Then, I'll post a bit more of code.

When I execute, after inserting data, it throws "Violación de segmento", and google says that means Stack Overflow

#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main(void){
char entrada[1001*11*101];
/*Asi tenemos el tamano maximo:
1001 por las 1000 posibles lineas, mas la primera
11 por el tamano maximo del numero (1 + 9 ceros), mas el espacio o salto de linea siguiente
101 por el numero de numeros por linea, mas el primero
*/
char *ult=entrada;
char cantidadstr[10];
int i,j,k = 0;
int res;

memset (entrada,'\0',1001*11*101);
scanf ("%s",entrada);
printf ("\n%s",entrada);


//poniendo ese print ahi arriba, ese me lo muestra, por tanto, el fallo esta en el puntero de debajo de esta linea
printf ("Hola %s",ult);
while (*ult != "\0"){
    if(*ult == "\n"){
        if(i != 0){
            printf("\n");
        }
        i++;
        j = 0;
    }
    else if(i != 0){
        if(*ult == " "){
            j++;
            k=0;
            res = atoi(cantidadstr);
            printf("%d ",res*2);
            //Este es el otro cambio que hablaba
            cantidadstr[10] = '\0';             
        }
        else if(j != 0){
            cantidadstr[k] = *ult;
        }

    }
    k++;
    *ult++;
}
return 0;

}

This is the exact and full code, with comments in spanish for another forum. The size of "entrada" is big enough for any data send in the exercise. The "memset" is just added. The second comment shows where it crashes

Thank you for your quick answer!!

Answer 1

The code before the while loop is fine as it compiles and runs correctly(as far as i can think)

But the while loop has an error i'm not sure how it compiled in your case. because you have written

while (*ult != "\\0"){

which gives compiler error as

*ult is of type char
"\0" is of type const char*

you have to convert "\\0" to '\\0'

Answer 2

The following line:

cantidadstr[10] = '\0';

will write past the end of cantidadstr , which is definitely bad and most likely causing your stack overflow. If you want to null terminate cantidadstr , use cantidadstr[9]= '\\0'; . Arrays in C are zero based, not one based, so the first element of an array of size N starts at [0] and the last referenceable element is [N-1] .
