strange behavious

[Mohammed Khalid Ansari <khalid@ncst.ernet.in>]

Hi,

I was running a simple program to test two dimensional pointer. When I 
compiled it and executed, it received segmentaion fault, but when I 
checked it in debugger step by step, it went smoothly and produced the 
expected output. I did it many times and got the same behavious. Following 
is my program

###################

#include <stdio.h>

void parse (char **);
char	*words[] = {"mohammed", "khalid", "ansari"}; 
int main()
{
	int	num_words, i;
	
	parse (words);
	for (i=0; i<3; i++)
		printf ("%s\n", *(words+i));
	return 0;
}

void
parse (char *word[])
{
	char	*buf[] = {"abc", "bcd", "cde"};
	int	i=0;
	
	for (i=0; i<3; i++)
		strcpy (*word++, buf[i]);
}

Please try yourself and see. What could be the problem.

with regards...
