C语言扩展动态内存报错：realloc(): invalid next size: 0x0000000002365010 ***

　　晚上被这个内存扩展崩溃的问题折腾的有点崩溃，当答案揭晓的那一刻，恍然大悟，原来如此简单。

　　练习题目：输入一个字符串，根据字母进行排序，说白了就是一个简单的冒泡

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <string.h>

#define BUF_LEN 100
#define COUNT 5

int main(void)
{
        char buf[BUF_LEN];
        size_t str_count = 0;
        size_t capacity = COUNT;
        char **pS = calloc(capacity, sizeof(char*));
        char **psTemp = NULL;
        char *pTemp = NULL;
        size_t str_len = 0;
        bool sorted = false;

        printf("Enter strings to be sorted, one per line. Press Enter to end:\n");

        char *ptr = NULL;

        while(true)
        {
                ptr = fgets(buf, BUF_LEN, stdin);
                if(!ptr)
                {
                        printf("Error reading string.\n");
                        free(pS);
                        pS = NULL;
                        return 1;
                }

                if(*ptr == ‘\n‘)
                        break;

                if(str_count == capacity)
                {
                        capacity += capacity/4;

                        if(!(psTemp = realloc(pS, capacity)))
                                return 1;
                        pS = psTemp;
                }

                str_len = strlen(buf) + 1;

                if(!(pS[str_count] = malloc(str_len)))
                        return 2;
                strcpy(pS[str_count++], buf);
        }

        while(!sorted)
        {
                sorted = true;
                size_t i = 0;
                for(; i < str_count - 1; i++)
                {
                        if(strcmp(pS[i], pS[i+1]) > 0)
                        {
                                sorted = false;
                                pTemp = pS[i];
                                pS[i] = pS[i+1];
                                pS[i + 1] = pTemp;
                        }

                }
        }

        printf("Your input sorted in ascending sequence is:\n\n");
        size_t i = 0;
        for(; i < str_count; i++)
        {
                printf("%s", pS[i]);
                free(pS[i]);
                pS[i] = NULL;
        }
        free(pS);
        pS = NULL;

        return 0;
}

　　上面标黄处，首先是通过calloc进行内存分配，初始是capacity的长度是5，接着判断当输入的字符串个数等于5了，那么就动态的扩展内存，继续按25%的速度增长。就是在扩展这里，一直报错：

　　代码看来看去发现没毛病，唯一能怀疑的地方就是内存扩展的那一行，经过几番折腾，发现只要一到需要增长调用realloc就报错，最后回去看calloc，只能一拍大腿骂娘了，字节计算的类型不对啊，一个是按char*（相当于二维数组pS[][]中的子数组pS[]）来计算字节，一个是按字符（char）来计算字节，得到的内存大小必然不同啊。把realloc的第二个参数加上这个就解决了：　　

if(!(psTemp = realloc(pS, capacity*sizeof(char*))))

　　编码需谨慎，差之毫厘，谬之千里，一点小小的bug都能让程序崩溃。
