Hi i am new to C++ I am have a error like the one above:
on a linux working in the termial
commands
c++ round.cpp -lpthread -o moo.exe -- build file
./moo.exe -- running file

get
*** glibc detected *** ./moo.exe: free(): invalid pointer: 0xb7f226ec ***
then shows

Well I see in your main() function scout *p; and then

p[s].ips = bohica;
 p[s].startport = start;
 p[s].endport = end;

But I don't see you allocating memory for p anywhere ? You need to to do that.

Ok thank you I missed that but it didn't fix my problem I change the section of code in the main after the array to:

bohica = argv[1];
     start = atoi(argv[2]);
     end   = atoi(argv[3]);


     int i =0;
     int s=0;

     scout *p;

     pthread_t *threads;
     pthread_attr_t pthread_custom_attr;

     threads=(pthread_t *)malloc(end*sizeof(*threads));
     pthread_attr_init(&pthread_custom_attr);
		p=(scout *)malloc(sizeof(scout)*end);



     p[s].ips = bohica;
     p[s].startport = start;
     p[s].endport = end;

> bohica = argv[1];
Your log shows NO command line parameters, not 3 like you assume here.
Always check argc before looking at argv

> for (int kt=0; kt<256; kt++)
Woah, first you ignore the input, now you assume a specific number.

scout *p;
p = new scout; //allocate the memory for a new scout struct

Ok first like I said I am new to C++, second I thank you all for the help, and third as to the input in the command the program runs with it or without it and I get the same problem. I have made a few changes so I putting the copy of the code in and yes I am still getting the same problem. Oh before I forget thanks for all the help.

I have made a few changes so I putting the copy of the code in and yes I am still getting the same problem.

Rather use new instead of malloc() for allocating the scout structures (because scout contains a std::string member variable)

> if (argc > 1 )
Still doesn't do much for the safety of argv[2] and [3].

> Ok first like I said I am new to C++
Then try it without threads first. There's a whole bunch of mistakes in there that I'm not even going to explain to you.
First understand exactly how a single threaded solution works.

And you're STILL running off the end of an array which is supposed to be limited by user input.

I did it without threads first that code works it just takes to a few hours to run.

OK I went over the code and with the notes that was give above and clean up the code good news I fix the error now I get a Segmentation fault when I run in gdb I get
(ip address works fine with the non threaded version)
when given gdb moo.exe ip address 1 100

Again, there is only one memcpy() in your code, so I'll go with that

memcpy(&servaddr.sin_addr, hostaddr->h_addr, hostaddr->h_length);

your hostaddr is a pointer to the struct, which you declare earlier, but you haven't allocated it any space, nor have you stored an address in it, so what exactly are you trying to copy over here ? Neither of these variables hostaddr->h_addr or hostaddr->h_length point to a valid place.

Well I have that line commented out right now because I am was told that it wasn't need after my last post. But I am still getting Seg. Fault. I believe that the error has to do with the threading because the code without any of the threading works just fine the only problem is it take 3 hours to run moo.exe ip port port and 9 hours to run moo.exe

Your gdb error says that your program is crashing inside a memcpy somewhere. Now I don't see any other memcpy's in the code you posted, but you might want to switch to a single threaded run, and then step through the code, or put some debug statements to narrow down where it is crashing at.

Ok so I use gdb step line by line in the code without any of the threading information in it a i had no problems I got when I ran it without the ip and 2 ports when I run it with a ip and 2 ports it can't find the location but it work just fine in a normal run.

I'd suggest putting some print statements inside your scanipport function and that will help you pinpoint the line which is causing the error. Use thread_id() to print the thread#, so you can see which thread is causing it to crash.
