Using Double Pointers after memory allocated within function

Question

I was playing with double pointers in C and was wondering if I create a function that initializes the table, it crashes on going back to main when I try to make use of the m

Answer 1

You have a pointer issue.

It's like if you say:

void inc(int a){
    a++;
}

int main(){
    int a = 0;
    inc(a);
    printf ("%d\n", a); // will display 0, not 1
}

does not work.

You must pass &strTable instead of strTable as InitStringTable argument, and change other things in InitStringTable consequently ..
Or just do strTable = InitStringTable(); , and return a char** from InitStringTable.
