Like coding, try to answer this question.. if you can.
Obviously this isn't a program and it will not compile it is just a question involving C and I thought some people might enjoy trying to figure it out. Anyway here goes.. and good luck :). btw... yes there is a logical solution.
void ***q=malloc(8);
*q=q;
*((long long *)*q)=0x012345678abcdef;
what is the value of (int)*((char *)q) ?
On The Chopping Block
That's tricky...
I think it is 48 but I'm not sure...
I hope my upcoming programming exam will not be that hard. :D
Nope. Let me give you a hint starting it out... Maybe you will be able to figure it out with some clues..
(int) - casts an int
void ***q = pointer to pointer to pointer to void.
malloc(8) = pointer to 8 writable bytes.
"*q=q" = set the first 4 of those bytes to point to themselves.
Like if the bytes are at 0x11223344, the list of bytes will go 0x44,0x33,0x22,0x11,?,?,?,?.
"*((long long *)*q)" = retrieve that pointer.
The answer will be -17, Lemme give explanation (Though I'm not C coder ) :
void ***q=malloc(8); // not valid in other lang'es , C++ prohibits this converting void* to void***
*q=q; //changes the values of above alocated bytes (sizeof(void**)) to address of q
*((long long *)*q)=0x012345678abcdef; //some what cycle pointers, *q will result in address of q, dereferencing it is same as bytes (sizeof(long long*)) chunk allocated, this will assign value 0x78abcdef at same time overflowing the 4 byte memory chunk I guess
(int)*((char *)q) // this will print 1st byte value which is -17
But seriously any company will throw you out if you'll write this type of code :D
