allocating for structures

I have the following struct..

Code:

---

struct test {
  int id;
  struct test *prev;
  struct test *next;
  unsigned char * type;
};

struct test *first_test;

---

Now when I initialize first_test I allocate memory...

first_test = malloc(sizeof(test));

When I free the memory (assume I've assigned values for all the parts of the struct) is the following sufficient?

free(first_test);

or do I need to...

free(first_test->type);
free(first_test->prev);
free(first_test->next);
free(first_test);

Quote:

---

free(first_test->type);
free(first_test->prev);
free(first_test->next);
free(first_test);

You will need to do that. But be sure to do the same to the structs inside of your struct though before you free the top-most struct. Make sense? lol

well actually when I free one, I'll be sticking the prev and next together to re-link the list.

But I know what you mean. Thanks!
