program run well in bash but doesn't run with valgrind

I have a program written in c, which runs well in bash, but gives strange result under valgrind, and valgrind report memory leak.

Running in bash:

:~/sandbox/binofino$ ./a.out

24 = 3 + 21   
24 = 3 + 21   
24 = 3 + 8 + 13   
24 = 1 + 2 + 8 + 13   
24 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 5 + 13   
24 = 1 + 2 + 21   

Under valgrind:

Not only it reports memory leak, it also reports error and the开发者_JS百科 out put of the program is completely wrong.

Why?

Because you have a bug (actually several bugs).

In particular, in get_fibo_index you realloc some memory, then in main read right past the end of the allocated buffer (which produces totally undefined result).

Rebuild your program with -g, re-run it under Valgrind, and fix all "Invalid" errors it finds.

(Rebuilding with -g will give you file and line info that will make fixing the errors easier.)
