allocate memory to Char **

[Lamine]

Hi,

I want to do write this C code in haskell code, but i have some pb:

int w ;
char **varnames = ccl_new_array (char *, w);

int i;
          for (i = 0; i < w; i++)
            {
              varnames[i] = ccl_new_array (char, 100);
              sprintf (varnames[i], "x%d", i);
            }

I try this code unsing mallocList to (http://lpaste.net/report/712):
mallocList :: [CString] -> IO (Ptr CString)
mallocList xs = do let n = Prelude.length xs
                   p <- mallocBytes (n*100)
                   forM_ (Prelude.zip [0..] xs)
                    (uncurry (pokeByteOff p))
                   return p

let n = sizeOf(undefined :: CString)
           allocaArray w $ \var -> do
                  xs <- peekArray (w*n) var
                  varnames <- mallocList xs

I have an error "segmentation fault(core dumped)".
can someone please help me? Thank you.
