Code that reproduces the error.

Hello all,

The code I'm sending generates a valid output file, but valgrind accuses
fclose() of violating memory, when flushing the file buffer to disk. fcloses
does what it is supposed to do, despite the memory access error.

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

typedef struct{
    int x;
    int y;
    double distanceFromBase;
    unsigned int tanks;
    long long int ackIndex;
} TankAttack;


int main(){
    FILE* arq;
    TankAttack* p = (TankAttack*)malloc(sizeof(TankAttack));

    arq = fopen("0","wb");

    p->x = 10;
    p->y = 10;
    p->distanceFromBase = 10.0;
    p->tanks = 10;
    p->ackIndex = 10;

    fwrite(p,sizeof(TankAttack),1,arq);

    fclose(arq);
    free(p);
    return 0;
}
