At line 18, a simple integer (line 25-26 shows it as int) is assigned to another simple integer (line 23-24 shows it). And bang there is some short circuit and some unrelated variable current_node is assigned some irrelevant value (line 19-20). It was NULL just 2 lines back (line 15-16). And all the pointers are distinct memory locations (line 29-35). current_node is not even a local variable passed as parameter (line 1). In fact defined as a global variable.

There is an old saying -- "garbage in, garbage out". What you posted is not even C code. I don't know what it is, but he certainly isn't C or C++ languages.

That would be the output of the GNU gdb (debugger)....And yes C does blow sometimes.

Maybe if you posted the code we could make sense of this.
