如何使用指针复制字符串

Question

这是我写的一个复制字符串常量的程序.

程序运行时崩溃.为什么会这样？

#include <stdio.h>

char *alpha = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
char c;
char *l;

main(){
   while((c = *alpha++)!='\0')
       *l++ = *alpha;
   printf("%s\n",l);
}

Answer 1

要在C中复制字符串,可以使用strcpy.这是一个例子:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

const char * my_str = "Content";
char * my_copy;
my_copy = malloc(sizeof(char) * (strlen(my_str) + 1));
strcpy(my_copy,my_str);

如果要避免意外的缓冲区溢出,请使用strncpy而不是strcpy.例如:

const char * my_str = "Content";
const size_t len_my_str = strlen(my_str) + 1;
char * my_copy = malloc(len_my_str);
strncpy(my_copy, my_str, len_my_str);

要执行此类手动复制:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
{
    char* orig_str = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
    char* ptr = orig_str;

    // Memory layout for orig_str:
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // |0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|  --> indices
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // |A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K |L |M |N |O |P |Q |R |S |T |U |V |W |X |Y |Z |\0|  --> data
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    int orig_str_size = 0;
    char* bkup_copy = NULL;

    // Count the number of characters in the original string
    while (*ptr++ != '\0')
        orig_str_size++;        

    printf("Size of the original string: %d\n", orig_str_size);

    /* Dynamically allocate space for the backup copy */ 

    // Why orig_str_size plus 1? We add +1 to account for the mandatory 
    // '\0' at the end of the string.
    bkup_copy = (char*) malloc((orig_str_size+1) * sizeof(char));

    // Place the '\0' character at the end of the backup string.
    bkup_copy[orig_str_size] = '\0'; 

    // Current memory layout for bkup_copy:
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // |0|1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9|10|11|12|13|14|15|16|17|18|19|20|21|22|23|24|25|26|  --> indices
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    // | | | | | | | | | | |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |\0|  --> data
    // ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    /* Finally, copy the characters from one string to the other */ 

    // Remember to reset the helper pointer so it points to the beginning 
    // of the original string!
    ptr = &orig_str[0]; 
    int idx = 0;
    while (*ptr != '\0')
        bkup_copy[idx++] = *ptr++;

    printf("Original String: %s\n", orig_str);   
    printf("Backup String: %s\n", bkup_copy);

    return 0;
}
