pointers

Hi I mash with pointers in C. I solve this problem about 5 hours and I don't know how I should continue.

Code:

void InsertFirst (tList *L, int val)   {
   tElemPtr new;
        if((new = malloc(sizeof(tElemPtr))) == NULL) Error();

   new->data = val;
   new->ptr = L->frst;
   L->frst = new;
   return;

}

and Valgrind writes this:

Code:

Invalid write of size 4
==3742==    at 0x804847C: InsertFirst (in /home/Digimon/c201/prog)
==3742==    by 0x804865E: main (in /home/Digimon/c201/prog)

==3742== malloc/free: 1 allocs, 1 frees, 4 bytes allocated.
==3742== For counts of detected errors, rerun with: -v
==3742== All heap blocks were freed -- no leaks are possible.

I think, that I should alocated in structure space for each element

       or margins (in the CSS sense, one being inside the bounding box, the other being outside)

SYNOPSIS

	 use Graphics::Primitive::Insets;

	 my $insets = Graphics::Primitive::Insets->new({
	   top	   => 5,
	   bottom  => 5,
	   left    => 5,
	   right   => 5
	 });

METHODS

   Constructor
       new Creates a new Graphics::Primitive::Insets.

   Instance Methods
       as_array
	   Return these insets as an array in the form of top, right, bottom and left.

       bottom
	   Set/Get the inset from the bottom.

       equal_to
	   Determine if these Insets are equal to another.

       left
	   Set/Get the inset from the left.

       right
	   Set/Get the inset from the right.

       top Set/Get the inset from the top.
