I'm a beginner and working with Arrays switch cases and loops of arrays concept coding to do some operations on binary numbers using arrays Here I am able to get the output as expected, but I can't figure out the problem of *** stack smashing detected ***: terminated. This comes at the end of the output I don't know why; anyone can help me with it please? And please tell me what the error means.
CodePudding user response：
stack smashing occur when one exceeds the size of a specific array(buffer overflow). It a defense mechanism to prevent overwriting of data. Please check your for loop in your functions the value of cnt goes beyond 9 which the size of the array. You can also you refer to What is the "stack smashing detected" error?
CodePudding user response：
This answer is not related for the error, however, using this bit position arithmetic technique you would get rid of the main causes of that error. In this technique you don't have to use neither arrays nor number base conversions but bit arithmetics only.
Consider the number 105 which would be expressed as 01101001 in 8-bit binary right? If it is assigned to an int there will be 24 more digits toward MSb (Most Significant bit). Using bit position arithmetic we can read and print the bit values and we can slice between any 2 positions within the type's bit count range.
Here I show how it could be done using your 2 functions called get_nbits and get_nbits_from_msb_pos (I changed the 2nd one's name to specify the direction operation). I modified their content for this purpose and also added a utility function called printBinary to print binary values of a given int variable, within the desired range.

return;
}
else if(from > bit_count || to < 0) {
printf("Argument error: Position values out of range\n");
return;
}
for(int i = from; i >= to; i--)
{
if((val & (1 << i))) {
// The ith digit is one
printf("%d",1);
}
else {
// The ith digit is zero
printf("%d",0);
}
}

{
if(n >= (sizeof(num) * 8)) {
printf("Argument error: The n must not exceed the bit count of num type which is: %lu\n", (sizeof(num) * 8));
return;
}
printf("The binary form of given number: ");
printBinary(num, n - 1, 0);
// No need to align since bits ranges to 0th bit
int decimal_num = num & ((1 << n) - 1);
printf("\nThe decimal number is: %d\n",decimal_num);

printBinary(num, pos, pos - (n - 1));
int mask = ((1 << (pos 1)) - 1); // Mask beyond the pos toward MSb
mask &= ~((1 << ((pos 1) - n)) - 1); // Mask below pos - n toward LSb
// Slice the num between the pos and n, and then align it to the right
// in order to get the correct value
decimal_num = ((num & mask) >> (pos - (n - 1)));
