valgrind - 地址在分配大小为 16 的块之前的 8 个字节

Question

我在“消化”valgrind 输出时遇到问题。这是一个sn-p：

==15145== Invalid write of size 8
==15145==    at 0x40168E: split_node_at_letter (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)
==15145==    by 0x4018E7: pass_word_further (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)
==15145==    by 0x401A35: insert_word (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)
==15145==    by 0x401BD5: main (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)
==15145==  Address 0x52237d8 is 8 bytes before a block of size 16 alloc'd
==15145==    at 0x4C29BCF: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)

地址是“分配大小为 16 的块之前的 8 个字节”是什么意思？

Answer 1

这意味着 Valgrind 检测到您为您的程序分配的一块内存（通过malloc() 或类似方式），并且您尝试访问该地址之前的 8 个字节。

简而言之，这是一个Array Out of Bounds错误，您尝试在实际数组数据之前访问数据

incorrect write 表示您为此数据段中的某些内容分配了一个值。比如做word.length = 4

这是 valgrind 输出的细分：

==15145== Invalid write of size 8
             //This is the function doing the incorrect accessing
==15145==    at 0x40168E: split_node_at_letter (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)
           [... stack trace ...]

                //This is the address you are trying to access
==15145==  Address 0x52237d8 is 8 bytes before a block of size 16 alloc'd
==15145==    at 0x4C29BCF: malloc (in /usr/lib64/valgrind/vgpreload_memcheck-amd64-linux.so)

             //This is the function that alloc'd the 'block of size 16' (calling malloc as shown in the above line)
==15145==    by 0x401063: add_to_trie_word_list (in /home/pgolinski/Dokumenty/Programowanie/git/dictionary/trii)

           [... stack trace ...]
