Thread breakpoint error at custom function - objective-c

I am trying to compile this simple program on Xcode 5 and I'm getting a "thread 1: breakpoint 1.1" message at error line below. Anyone know how I can fix it?
Here's my code:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int totalSavings(int listTotal);
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
int itemEntry, itemEntry1, itemEntry2,
listTotal, calcSavings;
itemEntry = 320;
itemEntry1 = 218;
itemEntry2 = 59;
listTotal = itemEntry + itemEntry1 + itemEntry2;
calcSavings = totalSavings(listTotal); \\error line
NSLog(#"Total Planned Spending: %d \n Amount Saved: %d", listTotal,
calcSavings);
}
return 0;
}
int totalSavings(int listTotal)
{
int savingsTotal;
savingsTotal = 700 - listTotal;
return savingsTotal;
}

Including the type int in the call is incorrect syntax.
The line in error:
calcSavings = totalSavings(int listTotal);
The fixed line:
calcSavings = totalSavings(listTotal);
The error message is:
Untitled.m:16:36: error: expected expression
calcSavings = totalSavings(int listTotal); // error line
^
Notice the "^" just under int, this is a clear indication of where the error is.

Stange behavior with my C string reverse function

I'm just an amateur programmer...
And when reading, for the second time, and more than two years apart, kochan's "Programming in Objective-C", now the 6th ed., reaching the pointer chapter i tried to revive the old days when i started programming with C...
So, i tried to program a reverse C string function, using char pointers...
At the end i got the desired result, but... got also a very strange behavior, i cannot explain with my little programming experience...
First the code:
This is a .m file,
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "*pathToFolder*/NSPrint.m"
int main(int argc, char const *argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool
{
char * reverseString(char * str);
char *ch;
if (argc < 2)
{
NSPrint(#"No word typed in the command line!");
return 1;
}
NSPrint(#"Reversing arguments:");
for (int i = 1; argv[i]; i++)
{
ch = reverseString(argv[i]);
printf("%s\n", ch);
//NSPrint(#"%s - %s", argv[i], ch);
}
}
return 0;
}
char * reverseString(char * str)
{
int size = 0;
for ( ; *(str + size) != '\0'; size++) ;
//printf("Size: %i\n", size);
char result[size + 1];
int i = 0;
for (size-- ; size >= 0; size--, i++)
{
result[i] = *(str + size);
//printf("%c, %c\n", result[i], *(str + size));
}
result[i] = '\0';
//printf("result location: %lu\n", result);
//printf("%s\n", result);
return result;
}
Second some notes:
This code is compiled in a MacBook Pro, with MAC OS X Maverick, with CLANG (clang -fobjc-arc $file_name -o $file_name_base)
That NSPrint is just a wrapper for printf to print a NSString constructed with stringWithFormat:arguments:
And third the strange behavior:
If I uncomment all those commented printf declarations, everything work just fine, i.e., all printf functions print what they have to print, including the last printf inside main function.
If I uncomment one, and just one, randomly chosen, of those comment printf functions, again everything work just fine, and I got the correct printf results, including the last printf inside main function.
If I leave all those commented printf functions as they are, I GOT ONLY BLANK LINES with the last printf inside main block, and one black line for each argument passed...
Worst, if I use that NSPrint function inside main, instead of the printf one, I get the desired result :!
Can anyone bring some light here please :)
You're returning a local array, that goes out of scope as the function exits. Dereferencing that memory causes undefined behavior.
You are returning a pointer to a local variable of the function that was called. When that function returns, the memory for the local variable becomes invalid, and the pointer returned is rubbish.

What does PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 return value mean?

I'm attempting to use OpenSSL's PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 method. I gather that it returns 0 if it succeeds, and some other value otherwise. My question is, what does a non-zero return value mean? Memory error? Usage error? How should my program handle it (retry, quit?)?
Edit: A corollary question is, is there any way to figure this out besides reverse-engineering the method itself?
is there any way to figure this out besides reverse-engineering the method itself?
PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 looks like one of those undocumented functions because I can't find it in the OpenSSL docs. OpenSSL has a lot of them, so you should be prepared to study the sources if you are going to use the library.
I gather that it returns 0 if it succeeds, and some other value otherwise.
Actually, its reversed. Here's how I know...
$ grep -R PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1 *
crypto/evp/evp.h:int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1(const char *pass, int passlen,
crypto/evp/p5_crpt2.c:int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1(const char *pass, int passlen,
...
So, you find the function's implementation in crypto/evp/p5_crpt2.c:
int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC_SHA1(const char *pass, int passlen,
const unsigned char *salt, int saltlen, int iter,
int keylen, unsigned char *out)
{
return PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(pass, passlen, salt, saltlen, iter,
EVP_sha1(), keylen, out);
}
Following PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC:
$ grep -R PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC *
...
crypto/evp/evp.h:int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(const char *pass, int passlen,
crypto/evp/p5_crpt2.c:int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(const char *pass, int passlen,
...
And again, from crypto/evp/p5_crpt2.c:
int PKCS5_PBKDF2_HMAC(const char *pass, int passlen,
const unsigned char *salt, int saltlen, int iter,
const EVP_MD *digest,
int keylen, unsigned char *out)
{
unsigned char digtmp[EVP_MAX_MD_SIZE], *p, itmp[4];
int cplen, j, k, tkeylen, mdlen;
unsigned long i = 1;
HMAC_CTX hctx_tpl, hctx;
mdlen = EVP_MD_size(digest);
if (mdlen < 0)
return 0;
HMAC_CTX_init(&hctx_tpl);
p = out;
tkeylen = keylen;
if(!pass)
passlen = 0;
else if(passlen == -1)
passlen = strlen(pass);
if (!HMAC_Init_ex(&hctx_tpl, pass, passlen, digest, NULL))
{
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
return 0;
}
while(tkeylen)
{
if(tkeylen > mdlen)
cplen = mdlen;
else
cplen = tkeylen;
/* We are unlikely to ever use more than 256 blocks (5120 bits!)
* but just in case...
*/
itmp[0] = (unsigned char)((i >> 24) & 0xff);
itmp[1] = (unsigned char)((i >> 16) & 0xff);
itmp[2] = (unsigned char)((i >> 8) & 0xff);
itmp[3] = (unsigned char)(i & 0xff);
if (!HMAC_CTX_copy(&hctx, &hctx_tpl))
{
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
return 0;
}
if (!HMAC_Update(&hctx, salt, saltlen)
|| !HMAC_Update(&hctx, itmp, 4)
|| !HMAC_Final(&hctx, digtmp, NULL))
{
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx);
return 0;
}
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx);
memcpy(p, digtmp, cplen);
for(j = 1; j < iter; j++)
{
if (!HMAC_CTX_copy(&hctx, &hctx_tpl))
{
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
return 0;
}
if (!HMAC_Update(&hctx, digtmp, mdlen)
|| !HMAC_Final(&hctx, digtmp, NULL))
{
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx);
return 0;
}
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx);
for(k = 0; k < cplen; k++)
p[k] ^= digtmp[k];
}
tkeylen-= cplen;
i++;
p+= cplen;
}
HMAC_CTX_cleanup(&hctx_tpl);
return 1;
}
So it looks like 0 on failure, and 1 on success. You should not see other values. And if you get a 0, then all the OUT parameters are junk.
Memory error? Usage error?
Well, sometimes you can call ERR_get_error. If you call it and it makes sense, then the error code is good. If the error code makes no sense, then its probably not good.
Sadly, that's the way I handle it because the library is not consistent with setting error codes. For example, here's the library code to load the RDRAND engine.
Notice the code clears the error code on failure if its a 3rd generation Ivy Bridge (that's the capability being tested), and does not clear or set an error otherwise!!!
void ENGINE_load_rdrand (void)
{
extern unsigned int OPENSSL_ia32cap_P[];
if (OPENSSL_ia32cap_P[1] & (1<<(62-32)))
{
ENGINE *toadd = ENGINE_rdrand();
if(!toadd) return;
ENGINE_add(toadd);
ENGINE_free(toadd);
ERR_clear_error();
}
}
How should my program handle it (retry, quit?)?
It looks like a hard failure.
Finally, that's exactly how I navigate the sources in this situation. If you don't like grep you can try ctags or another source code browser.

Program with embedded sql gives compilation error

#include<stdio.h>
#include<error.h>
#include<sys/shm.h>
#include "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.1/include/libpq-fe.h"
int main()
{
PGconn *conn;
int buf_ptr=0;
int i;
{
fprintf(stderr,"connection to database failed:%s",PQerrorMessage(conn));
exit(0);
}
else
{
printf("connection to database successful \n");
}
printf("Do you want to create a table enter 1 \n ");
scanf("%d",&i);
if(i==1)
{
EXEC SQl CREATE TABLE EMPOYE(
ENO INT,
ENAME VARCHAR(10));
}
return 0;
}
hello i am a newbie i am learning embedded c
i want to create a simple code where a table is created in c
when i am compiling the above program i am getting error like
embc.c:25: error: âEXECâ undeclared (first use in this function)
embc.c:25: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
embc.c:25: error: for each function it appears in.)
embc.c:25: error: expected â;â before âSQlâ
please help
First, the connection to database is missing, you should have something like :
int i=0;
EXEC SQL CONNECT TO target [AS connection-name] [USER user-name];
Or
PGconn *conn;
int buf_ptr=0;
int i=0;
conn = PQconnectdbParams(const char **keywords, const char **values, int expand_dbname);
then save your source file as prog.pgc and run :
ecpg prog.pgc
this will create a file called prog.c which can be compiled as a standard C file.

ERROR: Data argument not used by format string

Today I'm writing this program and I had has two problems.
This is the full code in Objective-C for a OS X Project:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
int main(int argc, const char * argv[])
{
#autoreleasepool {
int numx;
int quadr;
NSLog(#"Inserisci un numero");
scanf("%i", &numx);
quadr = numx * numx;
NSLog(#"Il quadrato del tuo numero %i è: ", numx, quadr);
}
return 0;
}
The second NSLog reports this error: Data argument not used by format string. Why it create this kind of error? In which way I can solve this error?
More over the run-time of the program finish unexpectly after that the output has written: "Inserisci un numero". When I insert the number requiry, the program not display the number squared as required from the second NSLog. Why I'm having this interrupt? Help me please. I what to understand what is happenend.
The warning you get on that line is correct.
The quadr parameter you pass is not used in the format string. Each parameter you pass need to have a % equivalent in the format string.
Specify the extra parameter in your code sample conform line below:
NSLog(#"Il quadrato del tuo numero %i è %i", numx, quadr);

Getting ARP table on iPhone/iPad

I am trying to get the ARP entries on my iPad like here.
When compiling the code to run on my iPad (so not the simulator) I am getting missing header error messages. You can resolve them by copying the header files into you project locally as mentioned in this post.
The problem lies in the line
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *)(sin + 1);
in this piece of code:
-(NSString*) ip2mac: (char*) ip
{
int expire_time, flags, export_only, doing_proxy, found_entry;
NSString *mAddr = nil;
u_long addr = inet_addr(ip);
int mib[6];
size_t needed;
char *host, *lim, *buf, *next;
struct rt_msghdr *rtm;
struct sockaddr_inarp *sin;
struct sockaddr_dl *sdl;
extern int h_errno;
struct hostent *hp;
mib[0] = CTL_NET;
mib[1] = PF_ROUTE;
mib[2] = 0;
mib[3] = AF_INET;
mib[4] = NET_RT_FLAGS;
mib[5] = RTF_LLINFO;
if (sysctl(mib, 6, NULL, &needed, NULL, 0) < 0)
err(1, "route-sysctl-estimate");
if ((buf = malloc(needed)) == NULL)
err(1, "malloc");
if (sysctl(mib, 6, buf, &needed, NULL, 0) < 0)
err(1, "actual retrieval of routing table");
lim = buf + needed;
for (next = buf; next < lim; next += rtm->rtm_msglen) {
rtm = (struct rt_msghdr *)next;
sin = (struct sockaddr_inarp *)(rtm + 1);
sdl = (struct sockaddr_dl *)(sin + 1);
if (addr) {
if (addr != sin->sin_addr.s_addr)
continue;
found_entry = 1;
}
if (nflag == 0)
hp = gethostbyaddr((caddr_t)&(sin->sin_addr),
sizeof sin->sin_addr, AF_INET);
else
hp = 0;
if (hp)
host = hp->h_name;
else {
host = "?";
if (h_errno == TRY_AGAIN)
nflag = 1;
}
if (sdl->sdl_alen) {
u_char *cp = LLADDR(sdl);
mAddr = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%x:%x:%x:%x:%x:%x", cp[0], cp[1], cp[2], cp[3], cp[4], cp[5]];
// ether_print((u_char *)LLADDR(sdl));
}
else
mAddr = nil;
}
if (found_entry == 0) {
return nil;
} else {
return mAddr;
}
}
It gives the following error message:
Arithmetic on pointer to incomplete type 'struct sockaddr_inarp*'
When you compile the code for the iPad simulator everything runs fine.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?
A similar question (but not solved) is asked here.
After importing <netinet/if_ether.h>, you should edit it and change the line
#include <net/if_arp.h>
to
#include "if_arp.h"
and then import <net/if_arp.h> in your project as well. This should fix that error.
Anyway the headers you need to import to compile the code you posted are:
#include "if_ether.h"
#include "route.h"
#include "if_arp.h"
#include "if_dl.h"
Hope this helps =)
EDIT:
You need to "Add files to project", not simply importing it with #import or #include.
You can find above files from following links:
Files under "netinet"
Files under "net"
#include <net/ethernet.h>
instead of messing with the original headers. More info here: Implicit declaration of function 'ether_ntoa' is invalid in C99
