So I was trying to regrow this 1D dynamic array and I am unable to fix this error: Buffer overrun while writing to 'new_arr': the writable size is 'newLength*1' bytes, but 2 bytes might be written
void regrow(char *&arr, int &length,int newLength) //Funcion to regrow an array
{
char* new_arr = new char[newLength];
for (int index = 0; index < length; index++)
{
new_arr[index] = arr[index]; //**Error occurs here**
}
length = newLength;
delete[] arr;
arr = new_arr;
}
A buffer overrun error generally detects if you try to write in a not allocated space that is probably due to a newLength
smaller than the length
itself that can be avoided with an if-return check:
#include <iostream>
void regrow(char *&arr, int &length,int newLength) //Funcion to regrow an array
{
if(length >= newLength){ //Check for correct input
return;
}else{
char* new_arr = new char[newLength];
for (int index = 0; index < length; index++)
{
new_arr[index] = arr[index]; //**Error occurs here**
}
length = newLength;
delete[] arr;
arr = new_arr;
}
}
int main()
{
int a = 5;
int b = 8;
char*array = new char[a]{'C','B','a','d','f'};
regrow(array,a,b);
for(int i = 0; i < a; ++i){
std::cout << array[i] << std::endl;
}
return 0;
}
