Glibc Error 1

[nrich239]

I'm running a program trying to get run JNI from C.

It compiles without error but during execution I get:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0xacc13d68 ***

Any ideas?

Let me know if more info is needed,

That could mean almost anything.

What it's telling you is that you called free() on a memory block, and it detected a problem.

Determining the actual cause of the problem is another matter. Where you corrupted the memory could be a long way from where you free the memory.

If it's a small program you've written, then you need to post it here - don't forget the [code][/code] tags.

If you're on Linux, then you could try

gcc prog.c -lefence

to link with the electric fence memory debug library. When run inside the debugger (say gdb or ddd), it should take you to the point where the corruption happens.

I started playing with it more and more and found that a line of code to de-reference an array was being called before it should have been.

Thanks though
