Looks like you use  p  Print Pointers

When you intend to print the memory address of any variable or a pointer  using  d won t do the job and will cause some compilation errors  because you re trying to print out a number instead of an address  and even if it does work  you d have an intent error  because a memory address is not a number  the value 0xbfc0d878 is surely not a number  but an address   What you should use is  p  e g     include lt stdio h gt   int main void         int a      a   5      printf  The memory address of a is   p n    void    amp a       return 0      Good luck

You want to use  p to print a pointer   From the spec      p  The argument shall be a pointer to void  The value of the pointer is converted to a sequence of printing characters  in an implementation-defined manner    And don t forget the cast  e g   printf   p n   void   amp a

To print the address of a variable  you need to use the  p format   d is for signed integers  For example    include lt stdio h gt   void main void      int a     printf  Address is  p    amp a
