[SOLVED] Problems with dynamic memory in CCS (calloc and malloc)

Code:

char* leStringEEPROM(int8 low, int8 high){
	//char* texto = calloc((high-low),sizeof(char));
	char texto[12];
	int8 i,y=0;	
	
	for(i=low;i<high;i++){
		texto[y] = (char)read_int16_eeprom(i);
		y++;
	}
	return texto;
}

Hi Pedro,

How do you detemine the length of the array "texto"?
Your code does not guarantee tah it is a null-terminated string.

char* texto = calloc((high-low),sizeof(char));

char* texto = calloc((high-low)[B][COLOR="#FF0000"]+1[/COLOR][/B],sizeof(char));

Hiho, Zorro, are you fine?

...the array 'TEXTO' always returns the wrong size.

Looking your reply about my code doesn't ensure the null-terminated character and some related doubts in other places around the internet, I've tried to increase by 1 Byte the size of array in the calloc instruction (i.e

char* texto = calloc((high-low)+1,sizeof(char));

and now it seems to work. :-D )
