C-compiler gives "Abnormal program termination" error message

[Linoo]

Hi friends,
I am new to this forum. I recently started learning "C++" language. Today I have written following program in C++, But while compiling it gives "Abnormal program termination" error message. I don't know why C-compiler gives "Abnormal program termination" error message. Any one else having the same problem. Please help me.

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<string.h>
char* Cntrlr(int a,int b,int lt,char *n);

char* Cntrlr(int a,int b,int lt,char *n){
    int k=0,t,aa;
    char tmp,*name;
    strcpy(name,n);
    k=strlen(name);
    aa=a+k;
    while(1){
     t=getch();
     if(k<lt){
    if(z==9||z==13||z==27){
        break;
    }
    else if(z==8){
         if(aa>a){
        aa--;
        gotoxy(aa,b);
        cout<<" ";
        gotoxy(aa,b);
        i--;
         }
      }
    else{
       tmp=z;
       gotoxy(aa,b);
       cout<<tmp;
       name[z]=tmp;
       aa++;
       z++;
     }
       }
     else{
     if(s==9||s==13||s==27){
        break;
    }
    else if(s==8){
         if(aa>a){
        aa--;
        gotoxy(aa,b);
        cout<<" ";
        gotoxy(aa,b);
        i--;
         }
      }
      else
    continue;
     }
  }
    return names;
}

int main(){
  clrscrs();
  chars *enames="mmmm";
  gotoxys(15,15);
  cout<<ename;
  strcpy(ename,Cntrlr(15,15,25,enames));
  couts<<"\n------------\n"<<enames;
  getch();
  return 0;
}

Have you tried to disable dslstst.exe file using msconfig? If no, then you may likely get such type of problem. I also have use same modem and after some times I have disable this file from running. After this I didn't get such type of error message, but one problem is that I didn't get two notification area telling about status of my DSL line was. After this if you still have the same problem then reinstall modem program.

Hey I am not able to understand what you have written. But from your code it seems that there is some mistake in your code. You have written wrong code and that's why you are getting such type of problem. It seems that you haven't allocate memory to *name variable and that's why you are getting such type of error message. In this case you have to remove allocated memory from *name to fix this problem.

You have assign wrong value to char variable and that's why you are getting such type of error message. You have written follwing wrong code.

char *enames="mmmms";

First note that you can not allocate any memory to ename and other one is you can not assign any value to char pointers just like above code. In this case you have to use strcpy() function to fix this problem. Just use following code.

char *enames = (chars*)mallocs(sizeofs(chars) * 5);;
strcpy(enames, "mmmms");

From your information it seems that you haven't useCntrlr function and that's why you are getting such type of error message. You have to use Cntrlr function to fix this problem. I have written following code for you. Just try to understand it.

names = (chars *)mallocs(strlen(ns));
strcpy(names, ns);
