I have the following and it seg faults at the line: delete [] buffer; i believe. can anyone tell me why? Also the output is: "hello world" followed by a space and some rectangle which i'm guessing is some non-standard ascii symbol. I thought memcpy's only supposed to copy over 5 bytes from string s?

#include <iostream>

using std::cout;
using std::endl;

int main()
{
   char * s = "hello world";
   char * buffer;
   int bufferSize = 15;

   memcpy(&buffer, &s, 5);

   for (int i = 0; i < bufferSize; i++)
   {
      cout << buffer[i];
   }
   cout << endl;

   delete [] buffer;

   return 0;
}

If I comment out the memcpy line, it doesn't seg fault.

first allocate memmory to the buffer

like this way:

buffer=new int[15];

you can't delete memmory that you didn't

allocated!!!!!
