passing pointers at structs thru functions

[nunnu]

Somehow this won't work, and I cannot figure out why.. !

Environment* f;
f = fillEnvironmentF(e);

Environment* fillEnvironmentF(Environment* environment){
Environment fEnv;
Environment* nE = &fEnv;

[... here I fill up the struct fEnv, and that works]
	
return nE;
}

My problem is that after the function-call my variable f doesn't point at anything, it's empty. I know that nE contains all I want.

fEnv is only valid for the duration of fillEnvironmentF().

Don't return a pointer to a stack variable.
