Thread: c struct with pointer

Hi,
please help
I have a struct with a pointer to another struct

*********************

Code:

typedef struct f{
    
    fl *fl;
    f *next;
}f;
typedef struct fl{
    
    int i;


}f;

************************
my problem is when i try to add a new item
i initiate a new fl struct with malloc
*****************************

Code:

*fl new_line=(*fl)malloc(sizeof(fl));
i=1;

f->fl =fl;

*******************************
fl is recognized in the scope but it losses all values when i am out of the function

what am i doing wrong?
