Is the mistake that they're allocating 1 byte and storing in a pointer to an int which is 4 bytes?
120 u/mckenzie_keith 2d ago De-referenced a pointer after freeing it. But the joke here is that the bug was not in the original code. 0 u/Original-Ad-8737 2d ago I learned recently that there is a kind of implicit return... It will automatically assume that the return value is the last used variable or something like that. Dont know specifics but i was weirded out why the compiler wasnt complaining about missing returns in some methods... 1 u/mckenzie_keith 1d ago Only in main() as far as I know. All others the compiler should warn you.
