<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Good morning,</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">I am have the following memory error: <span>
Error in `./ls': corrupted size vs. prev_size:</span> Can't seem to figure out why, but I believe it may have to do with how I am trying to allocate an array of pointers to strings. I guess my question is could the following code snippet potentially cause the
problem that I am having?</p>

<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Here's the code below:</p>
<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0"></p>
<div>pfilenames = malloc((numfiles + 1) * sizeof(char*));<br>
if(pfilenames == NULL)<br>
{<br>
perror("malloc failed\n");<br>
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);<br>
}<br>
<br>
pfilenames[i] = malloc( (strlen(direntptr->d_name) + 1) * sizeof(char));<br>
if(pfilenames[i] == NULL)<br>
{<br>
perror("malloc failed\n");<br>
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);<br>
}<br>
<br>
strcpy(pfilenames[i], direntptr->d_name);<br>
i++;</div>
numfiles is the number of files in the directory. I keep a running total of this as I am reading the files in the directory.
