strange Segmentation fault in C

ok guys when i run this program, actually when i call this method, like this

mymalloc(testarray,50);

when i comment the line printf("ok\n"); i get a segmentation fault.

i mean it is just a printf function. how can it affect memory??????

you could copy paste it on your machines and try it?

first with the printf("ok\n");

then //printf("ok\n");

---

if you comment that line and it crashes, it means that your stack is corrupted. So, the crash may appear and/or disappear without any apparent reason at any "random" point (of course it's not really random, but so it may seem).

Can you generate core-dumps and/or run with valgrind and/or step-by-step debug it?

---

Instead of doing this "by hand". I suggest using a proper tool for this like valgrind or gprof.
