Grab a buggy version of bagsimple and compile it:

$ cp -r /thayerfs/courses/22fall/cosc050/workspace/activities/day15/buggybag .
$ cd buggybag/
$ make

The buggy version of bagsimple.c tries to insert student_t struct into bags and then print the inserted items.

Run bagsimple executable with a dummy names.txt in the same directory, and see what happen.

$ ./bagsimple < names.txt

Not as you expected, huh?

Then work in groups to track down all bugs, with the help of gdb and valgrind.

Discuss possible solutions to fix these bugs.
