如何为这个链表正确分配内存

Question

我似乎找不到内存分配的问题所在。所有功能都正常工作，但程序在执行过程中随机崩溃。我知道错误在于我如何为链表分配内存，但我似乎无法弄清楚哪一部分是错误的。

Answer 1

可能有很多错误，但这是一个很大的错误

    user *item = (user*) malloc(sizeof(struct user));

应该是

    user *item = new user;

在 C++ 中，您应该始终使用new。 new 和malloc 的区别在于malloc 不调用任何构造函数。因此，在您的 user 对象中，不会调用 string name 的构造函数。因此，每当您尝试使用 name 时，都会出现未定义的行为（即潜在的崩溃）。正如 cmets 中所述，出于基本相同的原因，您还应该使用 delete 而不是 free。

仔细查看代码后，发现了大量与指针相关的错误。比如这个怎么样

list* temp  = (list*)malloc(sizeof(struct friend_list));
temp = hashArray[ascii_key]->FriendList;

暂时忘掉 malloc 与 new，看看上面的代码。你有一个指针temp 指向一些分配的内存。然后你扔掉那段记忆，让temp 指向hashArray[ascii_key]->FriendList。如果您不使用它，分配内存有什么意义？然后通过在函数结束时释放内存来复合错误。

free(temp);

但是temp 不再指向分配的内存（因为你让它指向朋友列表）。很明显你还真的不了解指针和内存分配。

这是你应该如何编写该函数

void check_friendship( int ascii_key, string name)
{
    list* temp = hashArray[ascii_key]->FriendList;
    while( temp != NULL)
    {
        if(strcmp(temp->name.c_str(), name.c_str()) == 0)
        {
            cout<<"Friendship exist"<<endl;
            return;
        }
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    cout<<"No Record of Friendship"<<endl;
}

请参阅根本没有分配。我猜你脑子里有某种规则，只要有指针，我就必须分配一些内存。这不是真的，分配是关于创建新对象。 check_friendship 不创建任何新对象（它只检查现有对象），因此它不需要分配或释放任何东西。

remove_friendship 有同样的问题，因为它正在删除友谊，它应该 delete 一个对象，（友谊被删除）但没有理由分配任何东西。

add_friendship 有相同的错误但相反。 add_friendship 应该为正在添加的友谊分配一个新对象，您这样做，但随后您尝试在函数结束时释放该对象。您在某种总括规则下操作，即必须分配每个指针变量然后释放，而不是从逻辑上考虑每个函数需要创建或销毁哪些对象。
