<p>I'm doing a shift-reduce algorithm for our compiler design subject. This is the code.</p>

<pre><code>void shiftReduce(char str[MAX_CHAR], int prodNum, int line)
{
    int limit = 5, y=0;
    int substrFlag = 1; //0 true 1 false
    int ctr,x, counter;
    int match, next;
    char stack[MAX_CHAR];
    clearString(stack);
    OUTER:while ((strcmp(stack, prod[0].left) != 0) &amp;&amp; (y &lt; limit))
    {
        addChar(stack, str[0]);
        strcpy(str, dequeue(str));
        printf("Stack = %s\nQueue = %s\n", stack, str);
        for (ctr = 0; ctr &lt; prodNum; ctr++)
        {
            if (strstr(stack, prod[ctr].right) != NULL)
            { //substring found
                substrFlag = 0;
                strcpy(stack, replace(stack, prod[ctr].right, prod[ctr].left));
                goto OUTER;
            }
        }
        if ((str[0] == '\n') || (str[0] == '\0'))
            y++;
    }
    if (strcmp(stack, prod[0].left) == 0)
        ;//printf("%s - Accepted.\n", stack);
    else
        printf("Syntax error on line %i\n", line);
}
</code></pre>

<p>When I comment the <code>printf("Stack = %s\nQueue = %s\n", stack, str);</code> line, it works well. But when I uncomment it, it returns the code <code>3221225477</code>.</p>

<p>BTW. This is the dequeue function: </p>

<pre><code>char * dequeue (char str[MAX_CHAR])
{
    int x = 0; char temp;
    for (x = 0; x &lt; length(str); x++)
    {
        if ((x+1) &lt; length(str))
            str[x] = str[x+1];
    }
    return str;
}
</code></pre>

<p>and the addChar function:</p>

<pre><code>void addChar (char * str, char letter)
{
    int a = 0;
    while (str[a] != '\0')
        a++;
    str[a] = letter;
    str[a+1] = '\0';
    return;
}
</code></pre>

<p>and finally replace function.</p>

<pre><code>char * replace (char orig[MAX_CHAR], char substr[MAX_CHAR], char rep[MAX_CHAR])
{
    int match, end=0, next=0;
    int flag = 0; //0 true 1 false
    char temp [MAX_CHAR];
    char store[MAX_CHAR];
    if (strstr(orig, substr) == NULL)
        return NULL;
    int x,y;
    for (x = 0; x &lt; length(orig); x++)
    { 
        if (orig[x] == substr[0]) //if current character  is equal to first character of substring
        {
            match = x;
            for (y = 0; y &lt; length(substr); y++)
            { 
                if (orig[match+y] != substr[y])
                {
                    flag = 1;
                    break;  
                }
            }
            if (flag == 0)
            {
                next = match + length(substr);
                for (y = 0; y &lt; length(rep); y++)
                { 
                    temp[match+y] = rep[y]; 
                    end = (match+y);
                }
                for (y = next; y &lt; length(orig); y++)
                { 
                    temp[y] = orig[next+(y-next)];
                }
                return temp;
            }
        }
        else
        {
            addChar(temp, orig[x]);
        }
    }
    return temp;
}

<p>PS. The <code>prod</code> array:</p>

<pre><code>struct RULES
{
    char left[MAX_CHAR];
    char right[MAX_CHAR];
} RULES;
struct RULES prod[MAX_RULES];
