Hey guys, so what I'm trying to do is print each member of a struct from every struct in an array. When I try to use the following code, I get an error saying "error request for member 'line' in something not a structure or union. It says this for all members of the structure. Let me know if you guys can see anything wrong:

// Declaring the structure:

typedef struct stEntry{
	char *lexeme;
	int line;
	int idcount;
	} SYMBOLTABLEENTRY;

// Creating the array of structures:

SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *symbolTable[200];

// The function to create a new struct for the array

SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *createEntry(char* yytext, int ln, int id)
{	
	SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *temp_st;
	temp_st = (SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *)malloc(sizeof(SYMBOLTABLEENTRY));
	temp_st->lexeme = strcpy(test, yytext);
	temp_st->line = ln;
	temp_st->idcount = id;
	return temp_st;
}

// When it finds an ID token, it adds a struct to the array

{ID} {printf("found ID token"); symbolTable[tol++] = createEntry(yytext, lineno, idcount++);}

// Where I'm having the problems, trying to print all elements of the struct array:

void printEntries()
   {
		for(i = 0; i < tol; i++)
		{
			sprintf(symbolTable[i].line,"%d:");
			printf("", symbolTable[i].lexeme);
			printf("(", symbolTable[i].idcount, ")\n");
		}
   }

I posted the code in segments to make it easier to follow, but here's the entire file:

%option noyywrap

%{

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int count = 0;
int lineno = 1;
int idcount = 0;
int tol = 0;
char* test;
int i, j;

typedef struct stEntry{
	char *lexeme;
	int line;
	int idcount;
	} SYMBOLTABLEENTRY;
	
SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *symbolTable[200];

// Create the symbol table entry and return a pointer to that table
SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *createEntry(char* yytext, int ln, int id)
{	
	SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *temp_st;
	temp_st = (SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *)malloc(sizeof(SYMBOLTABLEENTRY));
	temp_st->lexeme = strcpy(test, yytext);
	temp_st->line = ln;
	temp_st->idcount = id;
	return temp_st;
}

// Walk symboltable and print entries.  This is a pre-order depth-first walk
/*
void walkTable( SYMBOLTABLE *ts, int level) {
	/* if tp is not null 
	if (ts) {
		// print the indentation for this node
		int i;
		for (i = 0; i < level; i++) 
			printf( "  ");
		// print the label for this node
		printf( "%s\n", ts->lexeme);
		// process my children
		// both children are at the next level down
		level++;
		walkTable( ts->line, level);
		//walkTable( st->position, level);
	}
	// tp was null, so don't try to do anything.
	return;
}*/

Your sprintf and printf's are incorrect.

The correct way to print out the the structures would be like this:

sprintf(symbolTable[i].line, "%d", /* You need a variable here */);
printf("%s", symbolTable[i].lexeme0);
printf("(%d)\n", symbolTable[i].idcount);

Alright I got the thing to compile by changing the print function as follows:

void printEntries()
   {
		for(i = 0; i < tol; i++)
		{
			printf("%d", symbolTable[i]->line, ":");
			printf("%s", symbolTable[i]->lexeme);
			printf("( %d", symbolTable[i]->idcount, ")\n");
		}
   }

But now I'm getting the following error when I try to run the .exe:


3 [main] lab3 169968_cygtls::handle_exceptions: Error while dumping state <probably corrupted stack>
Segmentation fault <core dumped>

Anyone know what this means?

SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *createEntry(char* yytext, int ln, int id)
{	   
		SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *temp_st;
		temp_st = (SYMBOLTABLEENTRY *)malloc(sizeof(SYMBOLTABLEENTRY));
		temp_st->lexeme = strcpy(test, yytext);
		temp_st->line = ln;
		temp_st->idcount = id;
		return temp_st;
}

When you create something in a function and exit the function all of the data is lost. I don't know if their are special cases but, I'm guessing your getting an error because you are trying to access a bad pointer.

Pass a pointer to a structure into the function by reference and modify it that way.
