Subject: glibc detected - free(): invalid next size
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 20:59:27 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <43F6A9AF.8010309@colannino.org> (raw)
Hey everyone. I have a quick question. What does the following runtime
error mean?
*** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (fast): 0x0804a1c0 ***
Does this mean that the program attempted to free memory from a pointer
that wasn't allocated any memory? I have a feeling that is what this
means, but the message itself is cryptic.
On a related note, does anyone know of a good source that describes
runtime errors such as this in detail? It would help me greatly in my
debugging experience. Thanks :)
James
