Access Violation error

Hi -

I'm having problems with a small bit of code. If I wasn't so tired and my brain wasn't so fried I'm sure I'd be able to solve the problem but here's the code:

Code:

---

ListNode *vectorlist_create(int nodeAmount)
{
        ListNode *listHead=0;
        ListNode *node;
        int count=0;

        node=listHead;
       
        /*Add a node onto the vector list - allocating space with each new node*/
        while(count!=nodeAmount){
                node->next=(ListNode *)malloc(sizeof(ListNode));
                node->next->vector=(Vector *)malloc(sizeof(Vector));
                node=node->next;
                count++;
        }

        node->next=0;

        return listHead;
}

---

It compiles/builds fine but when I try to run it i just get an evil error message back at me and this bit of code is where the program lies. It's an access violation which normally means I havent allocated memory somewhere?

Anyways thanks so much for any help :)

'node' doesn't point to an actual instance of anything. In other words, it has no space allocated for it.

Quzah.

And what's with all the malloc casting in C?
There's a FAQ on the subject.
