Hi Team,
For one of my project requirement, I tried to write a C++ function (given
below) to convert a double value to a string.
====================
#include <iostream>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
char * buffer = 0;
double num = 23e45;
buffer = new char[sizeof(double) + 1];
if(buffer)
{
memset(buffer, '\0', sizeof(double) + 1);
sprintf(buffer, "%lf", num);
cout << "buffer ==>" << buffer << endl;
delete [] buffer;
}
return 0;
}
=========================
I tried to compile this code in sun solaris compiler (CC - 32 bit) and got
the code compiled and ran without any error. I tried the same code in my
home 32-bit machine (Fedora) gcc (4.7.2). Compilation produces no errors and
warnings but when running it produces segmentation fault. The same result in
my 64 bit machine (Debian, gcc - 4.7.2).
One more information is that the same code is working fine without any
issues in Sun Solaris (SPARC processor) with gcc 3.4.2 compiler. The same
conversion code works perfectly for int, long and float. For double alone, I
am facing issues.
Kindly provide me some information on where things goes wrong.
I am trying with the below compile options
g++ -Wall -g -O2 test.cpp -o test
I am getting the below error:
