I have this string malloced one byte:
char * word = malloc(sizeof(char));
I have another string source.content. The first few characters of this string needs to be copied to word and I use a loop to do the work:
for (int i = 0; isalnum(source.content[0]); ++i)
{
word[i] = source.content[0];
source.content += 1;
}
After the loop, I terminate word:
word[strlen(token.value)-1] = '\0';
My question is, why does the program above work when I copied more than 1 character to word even though it's only malloced for 1 character? When I realloaced an additional byte every loop, it does the same thing just slower.
