This must change into something like:

void generateintvec(int **uh, int len)
{ free(*uh);
 *uh=calloc(len,sizeof(int));
 if (*uh==NULL) printf("memmory allocation unsuccessful !!!\n");
}

> int *vec1, *vec2;

... And these calls must change accordingly to:

{ generateintvec(&vec1,30);
 generateintvec(&vec2,30);

Hope these help.
