Help with simple linux shell implementation

问题:

I am implementing a simple version of a linux shell in c.

I have succesfully written the parser, but I am having some trouble forking out the child process. However, I think the problem is due to arrays, pointers and such, because just started C with this project and am not still very knowledgable with them.

I am getting a segmentation fault and don't know where from. Any help is greatly appreciated.

typedef struct {

    char *infile;   
    char *outfile;  
    int background;

int parse_cmd(char *cmd_line, Command_Info *cmd_info)
{
    char *arg;
    char *args[MAX_ARG_LENGTH]; 

    int i = 0;
    arg = strtok(cmd_line, " ");
    while (arg != NULL) {
        args[i] = arg;
        arg = strtok(NULL, " ");
        i++;
    }

    int num_elems = i;
    if (num_elems == 0)
        return -1;

    cmd_info->infile = NULL;
    cmd_info->outfile = NULL;
    cmd_info->background = 0;

    int iarg = 0;

Thanks.

The problem is with cmd_info->arg, which is declared as char **arg and you never allocate memory for it.

So, when you try to access it to save the arguments like this cmd_info->arg[iarg++] = args[i], you are dereferencing an uninitialized pointer, causing the segmentation fault.

A solution would be to change the Command_Info structure to declare arg like this :

char *arg[MAX_ARG_LENGTH];
