``` char *buffer = palloc(7 * sizeof(char)); >> unsigned int offset = sizeof(buffer); // wrong buffer[--offset] = '\0'; /* here */ ``` Thank you for replying 2022년 2월 20일 (일) 오후 11:51, Dong Wook Lee <sh95...@gmail.com>님이 작성: > > I found a source code line that prints warning in the source code > (src/backend/utils/mmgr/aset.c, line 1496) > /* > │ 1492 * Check for overwrite of > padding space in an allocated chunk. > │ 1493 */ > │ 1494 if (chunk->aset == (void *) > set && dsize < chsize && > │ 1495 !sentinel_ok(chunk, > ALLOC_CHUNKHDRSZ + dsize)) > │B+>1496 elog(WARNING, "problem > in alloc set %s: detected write past chunk end in block %p, chunk %p", > │ 1497 name, block, chunk); > > In my extension c code. > I assigned value at the allocated memory address > and I found this assigned statement occurs warning > should I don't use it like this? > ``` > char *buffer = palloc(7 * sizeof(char)); > unsigned int offset = sizeof(buffer); > > buffer[--offset] = '\0'; /* here */ > ``` > > > > 2022년 2월 20일 (일) 오후 7:29, Julien Rouhaud <rjuju...@gmail.com>님이 작성: > > > > Hi, > > > > On Sun, Feb 20, 2022 at 07:23:56PM +0900, Dong Wook Lee wrote: > > > Hi hackers, > > > I've read in this blog ( > > > http://big-elephants.com/2015-10/writing-postgres-extensions-part-i/) > > > and I wrote an extension about base36_encode with c code > > > but when I executed a query like this below I got a warning below. > > > > > > ``` > > > postgres=# SELECT base36_encode(123); > > > WARNING: problem in alloc set ExprContext: detected write past chunk end > > > in block 0x55fb75334d40, chunk 0x55fb75334d68 > > > WARNING: problem in alloc set ExprContext: detected write past chunk end > > > in block 0x55fb75334d40, chunk 0x55fb75334d68 > > > base36_encode > > > --------------- > > > 3f > > > (1 row) > > > ``` > > > > > > I don't know what this warning means and how I can fix it. > > > > It means that you have some problem in your memory allocation.
