When you try to use Google Chrome, it might give you the error code google-chrome-status-stack-buffer-overrun on your computer’s screen.

This error can occur when there is an issue with your computer’s RAM or operating system. You might also encounter this error if you have a virus or malware installed on your computer or if other viruses or malware have infected your computer.

To fix this error code, you can try the following methods:

1. Scan computer for virus
2. Perform a system restore
3. Run SFC and DISM command

1. Scan computer for viruses

If you have installed a virus or malware on your computer, you should scan your computer for viruses using an antivirus tool. A virus infection can do many things, such as corrupting your system files or downloading malware onto your computer.

The best way to ensure that you are protected from a virus is to run a virus scan on your computer. Viruses can hide in other files on your computer and often change the way they behave when they are running to avoid detection.

By running a virus scan, you can find out if any viruses have been installed on your computer and then take steps to remove them from your system.

1. Perform a system restore

If you have not performed a system restore before and you want to perform a system restore, then you can try performing a system restore to see if it fixes the issue.

You can do this by going to the Start menu and typing «System Restore» in the search box and then selecting «System Restore» from the search results and then following the instructions on-screen to perform a system restore.

1. Run SFC and DISM command

If none of the above methods work, you can try running SFC (System File Checker) and DISM (Disk Image Management) commands by typing in «SFC /scannow» in the Windows Search box.

Press Enter or type in «dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth» into the Windows Search box and press Enter. This will make sure that all of your files are safe so that no errors are caused by them anymore.

If none of these methods work, contact Google Chrome customer support to fix this error code as soon as possible.

I have searched for this particular error and found the underlying issue involves loop counts being wrong and causing the program to exceed it’s bounds for the array.

However, after I lowered each array to the point where the array began to lose data on output, it continued to throw the same error. I am still new to C/C++ but any insight into this would be greatly appreciated.

The program seems to run through to the very end and even returns to the main method.

#include <stdio.h>



void sortAr(char[]);

    int main ()
{
    char a='y';
    char b,i;
    char c[20];
    int x=0,n=0,z=0;
    while (x<=19)
    {
        c[x]='@'; 
        x++;
    }

    printf("Enter 20 letters: n"); 

    while (z<=20) //(The '=' caused my problem, removed and it runs fine.)
    {
        z++;
        x=0;
        b='y';
        scanf("%c",&i);
        while (x<=19)
        {
            if (c[x]==i)
                b='n';
            x++;
        }

        if (b=='y')
        {
            c[n]=i;
            n++;
        }
    }
    printf("n");
    printf("The nonduplicate values are: n");      

    sortAr(c);

}





    void sortAr(char ar[])
    {
        char z;
    for (int i = 0; i <= 19; i++) 
    {
        for (int j=i+1; j <= 19; ++j)
        {
            if (ar[i]>ar[j])
            {
                z =  ar[i];
                ar[i] = ar[j];
                ar[j] = z;
            }
        }
    }
    for (int i = 0; i < 20; i++) 
    {
        if(ar[i]=='@')
            continue;
        printf("%c ", ar[i]);
    }
    printf("n");
    }

I found the error at:

while (z<=20)

The reason is the array would overwrite more characters than intended by executing more times than the array had indexed in the memory. As a result it wrote into memory that was not allocated to it and caused the Stack_Buffer_Overrun.

Trace Z:

Z was initialized to 0.
Array was initialized to 20.

While loop starts with Z as the counter for read-ins.
z=0 array=1 1st run,
z=1 array=2 2nd run,
z=2 array=3 3rd run,
z=3 array=4 4th run,
...
z=20 array=21 21st run. (Array cannot hold 21st character and results in Stack_Buffer_Overrun.)

Solution:

change while(z<=20) -> while(z<20)
