Full Discussion: Thread parameter in ANSI C makes a segmentation fault

Try fprintf(stderr, "%p\n", v); to see if the pointer value has become corrupted somehow.

If all you're passing is one integer, why allocate memory at all?

void *value=(void *)42;
int ivalue=(int)(value);

If that's not all you're doing, post a more complete portion of your code so we can see what's actually going on.

asn1_read_value_type

asn1_read_value_type(3) 					     libtasn1						   asn1_read_value_type(3)

NAME

       asn1_read_value_type - API function

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libtasn1.h>

       int asn1_read_value_type(asn1_node root, const char * name, void * ivalue, int * len, unsigned int * etype);

ARGUMENTS

       asn1_node root
		   pointer to a structure.

       const char * name
		   the name of the element inside a structure that you want to read.

       void * ivalue
		   vector that will contain the element's content, must be a pointer to memory cells already allocated.

       int * len   number of bytes of *value: value[0]..value[len-1]. Initialy holds the sizeof value.

       unsigned int * etype
		   The type of the value read (ASN1_ETYPE)

DESCRIPTION

       Returns the value of one element inside a structure.

       If  an  element	is OPTIONAL and the function "read_value" returns ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND, it means that this element wasn't present in the
       der encoding that created the structure.  The first element of a SEQUENCE_OF or SET_OF is named "?1". The second one "?2" and so on.

INTEGER

       VALUE will contain a two's complement form integer.

       integer=-1  -> value[0]=0xFF , len=1.  integer=1   -> value[0]=0x01 , len=1.

ENUMERATED

       As INTEGER (but only with not negative numbers).

BOOLEAN

       VALUE will be the null terminated string "TRUE" or "FALSE" and LEN=5 or LEN=6.

OBJECT IDENTIFIER

       VALUE will be a null terminated string with each number separated by a dot (i.e. "1.2.3.543.1").

       LEN = strlen(VALUE)+1

UTCTIME

       VALUE will be a null terminated string in one of these formats: "YYMMDDhhmmss+hh'mm'" or "YYMMDDhhmmss-hh'mm'".	LEN=strlen(VALUE)+1.

GENERALIZEDTIME

       VALUE will be a null terminated string in the same format used to set the value.

OCTET STRING

       VALUE will contain the octet string and LEN will be the number of octets.

GENERALSTRING

       VALUE will contain the generalstring and LEN will be the number of octets.

BIT STRING

       VALUE will contain the bit string organized by bytes and LEN will be the number of bits.

CHOICE

       If NAME indicates a choice type, VALUE will specify the alternative selected.

ANY

       If NAME indicates an any type, VALUE will indicate the DER encoding of the structure actually used.

RETURNS

       ASN1_SUCCESS if value is returned, ASN1_ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND if name is not a valid element, ASN1_VALUE_NOT_FOUND if there isn't any value for
       the  element  selected,	and ASN1_MEM_ERROR if The value vector isn't big enough to store the result, and in this case len will contain the
       number of bytes needed.
