no warnings and no error on compile and sign but on run it crashes

don't forget

here is an online version with compiler and editor with modified source http://tpcg.io/_BN0N31

here is the plain version: 1 #include <stdio.h> 2 #include <stdlib.h> 3 #include <stdint.h> 4 #include <stdbool.h> 5 #include <time.h> 6 #include <math.h> 7 #include <unistd.h> 8 #include <string.h> 9 #include <ctype.h> 10 #include <memory.h> 11 #include <iconv.h> 12 13static const char *coin(int fex) 14{ 15 16 bool isDuplicate = false; 17 //--------------------------------------------------------------------- 18 const char charset[] = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"; 19 int max_index = (sizeof(charset) - 1); 20 //--------------------------------------------------------------------- 21 const char *picked = "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"; 22 const char *number = "A"; 23 int j = 0,i = 0; 24 25 for (i = 0; i < fex; i++) { 26 do { 27 int target = rand() % max_index; // Generate 28 strncpy((char *)number,&charset[target],strlen(&charset[target])); // Pick 29 // Check for duplicates 30 31 for (j = 0; j < fex; j++) { 32 33 if (number == &picked[j]) { 34 35 isDuplicate = true; 36 // break; // Duplicate detected 37 } // end if 38 else { 39 memmove((void *)&charset[max_index], &charset[max_index - atoi(number)], atoi(&charset[max_index]) - atoi(number)); 40 max_index--; 41 isDuplicate = false; 42 // break; // No Duplicate detected 43 } // end else 44 } // end for 45 } // end do 46 while (isDuplicate); // equivalent to while(isDuplicate == true) 47 48 if (!isDuplicate) { // equivalent to if(isDuplicate == false) 49 strncpy((char *)&picked[j],number,strlen(number)); // picked 50 } // end if 51 } // end for 52 return picked; 53 } 54 55 int main(void) 56 { 57 time_t start, stop; 58 59 start = time(NULL); 60 61 for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) { 62 printf("%s\n", coin(26)); 63 } // end for 64 printf("%s\n",coin(5)); 65 stop = time(NULL); 66 printf("Time elapsed : %ld seconds\n",(stop - start)); 67 68 return 0; 69 70 }
