错误: free() : 无效的下一个大小(快速) :

我得到的这个奇怪的错误是什么？我在 Ubuntu 10.10上用 g + + 编译 C + + 。当我运行可执行文件时，它会随机出现(可能在8小时内出现2次，每小时10次编译)。但是，如果我进行清理并重新编译，它在大多数情况下会消失。

It means that you have a memory error. You may be trying to free a pointer that wasn't allocated by malloc (or delete an object that wasn't created by new) or you may be trying to free/delete such an object more than once. You may be overflowing a buffer or otherwise writing to memory to which you shouldn't be writing, causing heap corruption.

Any number of programming errors can cause this problem. You need to use a debugger, get a backtrace, and see what your program is doing when the error occurs. If that fails and you determine you have corrupted the heap at some previous point in time, you may be in for some painful debugging (it may not be too painful if the project is small enough that you can tackle it piece by piece).

We need the code, but that usually pops up when you try to free() memory from a pointer that is not allocated. This often happens when you're double-freeing.

I encountered the same problem, even though I did not make any dynamic memory allocation in my program, but I was accessing a vector's index without allocating memory for it. So, if the same case, better allocate some memory using resize() and then access vector elements.

I encountered such a situation where code was circumventing STL's api and writing to the array unsafely when someone resizes it. Adding the assert here caught it:

void Logo::add(const QVector3D &v, const QVector3D &n)
{
GLfloat *p = m_data.data() + m_count;
*p++ = v.x();
*p++ = v.y();
*p++ = v.z();
*p++ = n.x();
*p++ = n.y();
*p++ = n.z();
m_count += 6;
Q_ASSERT( m_count <= m_data.size() );
}

I encountered a similar error. It was a noob mistake done in a hurry. Integer array without declaring size int a[] then trying to access it. C++ compiler should've caught such an error easily if it were in main. However since this particular int array was declared inside an object, it was being created at the same time as my object (many objects were being created) and the compiler was throwing a free(): invalid next size(normal) error. I thought of 2 explanations for this (please enlighten me if anyone knows more): 1.) This resulted in some random memory being assigned to it but since this wasn't accessible it was freeing up all the other heap memory just trying to find this int. 2.) The memory required by it was practically infinite for a program and to assign this it was freeing up all other memory.

A simple:

    int* a;
class foo{
foo(){
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
a=new int[i];
}

Solved the problem. But it did take a lot of time trying to debug this because the compiler could not "really" find the error.

If you are trying to allocate space for an array of pointers, such as

char** my_array_of_strings;  // or some array of pointers such as int** or even void**

then you will need to consider word size (8 bytes in a 64-bit system, 4 bytes in a 32-bit system) when allocating space for n pointers. The size of a pointer is the same of your word size.

So while you may wish to allocate space for n pointers, you are actually going to need n times 8 or 4 (for 64-bit or 32-bit systems, respectively)

To avoid overflowing your allocated memory for n elements of 8 bytes:

my_array_of_strings = (char**) malloc( n * 8 );  // for 64-bit systems
my_array_of_strings = (char**) malloc( n * 4 );  // for 32-bit systems

This will return a block of n pointers, each consisting of 8 bytes (or 4 bytes if you're using a 32-bit system)

I have noticed that Linux will allow you to use all n pointers when you haven't compensated for word size, but when you try to free that memory it realizes its mistake and it gives out that rather nasty error. And it is a bad one, when you overflow allocated memory, many security issues lie in wait.
