c - SIGSEGV，(貌似)由 printf 引起

Question

首先，对于任何交叉发布，我们深表歉意。希望我没有在这里重复一个问题，但我无法在其他地方找到它(通过 Google 和 Stack Overflow)。

这是错误的要点。如果我在代码中的任何位置调用 printf、sprintf 或 fprintf 来显示 float ，我会得到一个 SIGSEGV (EXC_BAD_ACCESS) 错误。让我举个例子。

以下抛出错误:

float f = 0.5f;
printf("%f\n",f);

这段代码不会:

float f = 0.5f;
printf("%d\n",f);

我知道那里有一个隐式转换，但我不关心那个。我只是不明白为什么打印 float 与打印整数会引发错误。

注意:部分代码使用malloc 来创建一些非常大的多维数组。但是，对于这些打印语句，这些数组不会以任何方式被引用。下面是我如何声明这些数组的示例。

#define X_LEN 20
#define XDOT_LEN 20
#define THETA_LEN 20
#define THETADOT_LEN 20
#define NUM_STATES (X_LEN+1) * (XDOT_LEN+1) * (THETA_LEN+1) * (THETADOT_LEN+1)
#define NUM_ACTS 100

float *states = (float *)malloc(NUM_STATES * sizeof(float));
// as opposed to float states[NUM_STATES] (more memory effecient)


float **q = (float**)malloc(NUM_STATES * sizeof(float*));

for(int i=0; i < NUM_STATES; i++) {
    float *a = (float*)malloc(NUM_ACTS * sizeof(float));
    for(int j=0; j < NUM_ACTS; j++) {
        a[j] = 0.0f;
    }
    q[i] = a;
}

然后上面的 printf 语句出现在代码的后面。

我包含 malloc 内容的原因是因为据我了解，SIGSEGV 与格式不正确的 malloc 调用有关。所以，如果数组初始化是导致问题的原因，我想知道:

• 为什么？
• 如何更改 malloc 代码来解决这个问题？

我已经包含了 OS X 生成的崩溃日志，以防万一帮助到任何人。

您的代码中存在与 printf 语句无关的错误。你在某处占用内存，但问题并没有显现出来，直到 printf 尝试使用 __BAlloc_D2A 分配一些内存，它崩溃了，因为它使用的堆数据结构跟踪已损坏的空闲内存块。

要尝试检测您在何处占用内存，可以使用多种工具。如果您使用的是 Linux，我建议您使用 valgrind ，它本质上是在虚拟机中运行您的代码，并在您执行任何非法操作时告诉您，例如越界读/写内存、读取未初始化的变量等。但是，它在 Mac OS X 中不可用(目前)。

一种选择是使用 libgmalloc :

% cat gmalloctest.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
  unsigned *buffer = (unsigned *)malloc(sizeof(unsigned) * 100);
  unsigned i;

  for (i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
    buffer[i] = i;
  }

  for (i = 0; i < 200; i++) {
     printf ("%d  ", buffer[i]);
  }
}

% cc -g -o gmalloctest gmalloctest.c
% gdb gmalloctest
