I am programming in GTK using C and need help solving a problem I have. I am writing a simple program that shows student records. The problem is that I would like to create "student" struct objects dynamically as needed, every time a new student is read from the file.
I know I have to use malloc and my question is, would it be legal to declare a global pointer to the struct and use malloc to create new instances? Thanks.
If you malloc() and overwrite the result before calling free(), you leak memory.
Consider using a linked list.
What's the point of using global variables when you're dynamically allocating new objects, thus overwriting the old one?
A linked list is cool, otherwise you can use a dynamic array.
Global variables should be avoided.
How can i implement the above code using linked list.
Do i need to use a pointer to the above structure
how do i need to generate a structure array?
I am confused :(
If possible provide an example.
What above code?
Give the code we will try it...
