结合使用修复并继续功能与运行时检查

可以将运行时检查与修复并继续功能一起使用，以便快速查出并修复编程错误。修复并继续功能提供了强大的组合功能，可以为您节省大量调试时间。以下是一个示例。

% cat -n bug.c
     1 #include stdio.h
     2 char *s = NULL;
     3
     4 void
     5 problem()
     6 {
     7      *s = ’c’;
     8 }
     9
    10 main()
    11 {
    12      problem();
    13      return 0;
    14 }
% cat -n bug-fixed.c
     1 #include stdio.h
     2 char *s = NULL;
     3
     4 void
     5 problem()
     6 {
     7
     8      s = (char *)malloc(1);
     9      *s = ’c’;
    10 }
    11
    12 main()
    13 {
    14      problem();
    15      return 0;
    16 }
