Crash in C++ Code
- by Ankuj
I am trying to list all files in a directory recursively. But my code crashes without giving any error. When the given file is directory I recursively call the function or else print its name.
I am using dirent.h
int list_file(string path)
{
DIR *dir;
struct dirent *ent;
char *c_style_path;
c_style_path = new char[path.length()];
c_style_path = (char *)path.c_str();
dir = opendir (c_style_path);
if (dir != NULL) {
/* print all the files and directories within directory */
while ((ent = readdir (dir)) != NULL) {
if(ent->d_type == DT_DIR && (strcmp(ent->d_name,".")!=0) && (strcmp(ent->d_name,"..")!=0))
{
string tmp = path + "\\" + ent->d_name;
list_file(tmp);
}
else
{
cout<<ent->d_name<<endl;
}
}
closedir (dir);
} else {
/* could not open directory */
perror ("");
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
delete [] c_style_path;
return 0;
}
I am not getting as to what I am doing wrong here. Any clues ?
