I'll join the fray. It's been too long since I've written C. Besides, there's no complete examples here anyway. The OP's code is basically C, so I went ahead and made it work with GCC.
The problems were covered before; the next pointer wasn't being advanced. That was the crux of the issue.
I also took the opportunity to make a suggested edit; instead of having two funcitons to malloc, I put it in initNode() and then used initNode() to malloc both (malloc is "the C new" if you will). I changed initNode() to return a pointer.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// required to be declared before self-referential definition
struct Node;
struct Node {
int x;
struct Node *next;
};
struct Node* initNode( int n){
struct Node *head = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
head->x = n;
head->next = NULL;
return head;
}
void addNode(struct Node **head, int n){
struct Node *NewNode = initNode( n );
NewNode -> next = *head;
*head = NewNode;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
struct Node* head = initNode(5);
addNode(&head,10);
addNode(&head,20);
struct Node* cur = head;
do {
printf("Node @ %p : %i\n",(void*)cur, cur->x );
} while ( ( cur = cur->next ) != NULL );
}
compilation: gcc -o ll ll.c
output:
Node @ 0x9e0050 : 20
Node @ 0x9e0030 : 10
Node @ 0x9e0010 : 5
