Techniques for avoiding problems in C programming
To ensure memory is not used uninitialized, compile with
gcc -O -Wall
or run the program under valgrind. The
optimization flag -O
is necessary to catch uninitialized
variable errors.
To catch errors of the form if (c = 1)
, compile with gcc
-Wall.
To prevent using freed memory, set pointers to zero after "free".
