The following code is for a basic circular linked list, but when one inputs a large value for n(e.g 8 digits) it throws the "abort signal from abort(3) (sigabrt)" error. I'm not sure what it means and would love some guidance about fixing this with regard to my code.
Thank you!

SIGABRT is generally issued when there are memory issues (heap corruption being quite common). In your code, I see only the new() operator being called, but you aren't deleting any unused nodes from your linked list! Seems like you're exhausting the memory allocated to your process.
You might be running out of memory. Check your ram usage during the execution of your program, that might lead to something.
enter code here
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
class Node{
public:
int data;
Node *next;
};
void traverse(Node *head)
{
while (head != NULL)
{
/* code */
cout<<head->data<<"->";
head = head->next;
}
cout<<"NULL"
}
int main()
{
Node *head = new Node();
Node *second = new Node();;
Node *third = new Node();;
Node *fourth = new Node();;
head->data = 5;
head->next = second;
//cout<<head->data;
second->data=10;
second->next=third;
third->data = 15;
third->next = fourth;
fourth->data = 20;
fourth->next= NULL;
traverse(head);
return 0;
}```
I am met a segfault during implementing my own linked_list in C++. I spent hours on it but still cannot figure out the bug. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I think the error is in find_kth1() function, but I don't know what i do wrong. I can print the linked list just as expected.
/*
*
* find kth to last element in a singly linked list
*/
#include <iostream>
// #include "../linked_list.h"
using namespace std;
struct Node {
int data ;
struct Node *next;
};
Node* push(Node *head, int d){
// push to top
Node *n = new Node;
n->data = d;
n->next = head;
return n;
}
void print_LL( Node* head){
Node* p = head;
while(p) {
cout << p->data << ' ';
p = p->next;
}
}
int find_length( Node* head) {
int len = 0;
Node* p = head;
while(p){
len ++;
p = p->next;
}
return len;
}
Node* find_kth1( Node* head, int k){
// find length, scan twice
int len = find_length(head);
Node *p = head;
int i = 0;
while( i < len-k){
i ++ ;
p = p->next;
}
return p;
}
int main( void){
Node *head;
head = push( head, 2) ;
head = push( head, 3) ;
head = push( head, 4) ;
head = push( head, 5) ;
head = push( head, 2) ;
print_LL( head);
int k = 3;
Node *p = find_kth1( head, k);
// cout<<p->data<<endl;
}
The head pointer need to be initialized
It is used with out initialization
Normally compiler gives warning , so always heed to the warnings
Node *head=NULL;
I am about to create a linked that can insert and display until now:
struct Node {
int x;
Node *next;
};
This is my initialisation function which only will be called for the first Node:
void initNode(struct Node *head, int n){
head->x = n;
head->next = NULL;
}
To add the Node, and I think the reason why my linked list isn't working correct is in this function:
void addNode(struct Node *head, int n){
struct Node *NewNode = new Node;
NewNode-> x = n;
NewNode -> next = head;
head = NewNode;
}
My main function:
int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
struct Node *head = new Node;
initNode(head, 5);
addNode(head, 10);
addNode(head, 20);
return 0;
}
Let me run the program as I think it works. First I initialise the head Node as a Node like this:
head = [ 5 | NULL ]
Then I add a new node with n = 10 and pass head as my argument.
NewNode = [ x | next ] where next points at head. And then I change the place where head is pointing to NewNode, since NewNode is the first Node in LinkedList now.
Why isn't this working? I would appreciate any hints that could make me move in the right direction. I think LinkedList is a bit hard to understand.
When I'm printing this, it only returns 5:
This is the most simple example I can think of in this case and is not tested. Please consider that this uses some bad practices and does not go the way you normally would go with C++ (initialize lists, separation of declaration and definition, and so on). But that are topics I can't cover here.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class LinkedList{
// Struct inside the class LinkedList
// This is one node which is not needed by the caller. It is just
// for internal work.
struct Node {
int x;
Node *next;
};
// public member
public:
// constructor
LinkedList(){
head = NULL; // set head to NULL
}
// destructor
~LinkedList(){
Node *next = head;
while(next) { // iterate over all elements
Node *deleteMe = next;
next = next->next; // save pointer to the next element
delete deleteMe; // delete the current entry
}
}
// This prepends a new value at the beginning of the list
void addValue(int val){
Node *n = new Node(); // create new Node
n->x = val; // set value
n->next = head; // make the node point to the next node.
// If the list is empty, this is NULL, so the end of the list --> OK
head = n; // last but not least, make the head point at the new node.
}
// returns the first element in the list and deletes the Node.
// caution, no error-checking here!
int popValue(){
Node *n = head;
int ret = n->x;
head = head->next;
delete n;
return ret;
}
// private member
private:
Node *head; // this is the private member variable. It is just a pointer to the first Node
};
int main() {
LinkedList list;
list.addValue(5);
list.addValue(10);
list.addValue(20);
cout << list.popValue() << endl;
cout << list.popValue() << endl;
cout << list.popValue() << endl;
// because there is no error checking in popValue(), the following
// is undefined behavior. Probably the program will crash, because
// there are no more values in the list.
// cout << list.popValue() << endl;
return 0;
}
I would strongly suggest you to read a little bit about C++ and Object oriented programming. A good starting point could be this: http://www.galileocomputing.de/1278?GPP=opoo
EDIT: added a pop function and some output. As you can see the program pushes 3 values 5, 10, 20 and afterwards pops them. The order is reversed afterwards because this list works in stack mode (LIFO, Last in First out)
You should take reference of a head pointer. Otherwise the pointer modification is not visible outside of the function.
void addNode(struct Node *&head, int n){
struct Node *NewNode = new Node;
NewNode-> x = n;
NewNode -> next = head;
head = NewNode;
}
I'll join the fray. It's been too long since I've written C. Besides, there's no complete examples here anyway. The OP's code is basically C, so I went ahead and made it work with GCC.
The problems were covered before; the next pointer wasn't being advanced. That was the crux of the issue.
I also took the opportunity to make a suggested edit; instead of having two funcitons to malloc, I put it in initNode() and then used initNode() to malloc both (malloc is "the C new" if you will). I changed initNode() to return a pointer.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
// required to be declared before self-referential definition
struct Node;
struct Node {
int x;
struct Node *next;
};
struct Node* initNode( int n){
struct Node *head = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
head->x = n;
head->next = NULL;
return head;
}
void addNode(struct Node **head, int n){
struct Node *NewNode = initNode( n );
NewNode -> next = *head;
*head = NewNode;
}
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
struct Node* head = initNode(5);
addNode(&head,10);
addNode(&head,20);
struct Node* cur = head;
do {
printf("Node # %p : %i\n",(void*)cur, cur->x );
} while ( ( cur = cur->next ) != NULL );
}
compilation: gcc -o ll ll.c
output:
Node # 0x9e0050 : 20
Node # 0x9e0030 : 10
Node # 0x9e0010 : 5

Both functions are wrong. First of all function initNode has a confusing name. It should be named as for example initList and should not do the task of addNode. That is, it should not add a value to the list.
In fact, there is not any sense in function initNode, because the initialization of the list can be done when the head is defined:
Node *head = nullptr;
or
Node *head = NULL;
So you can exclude function initNode from your design of the list.
Also in your code there is no need to specify the elaborated type name for the structure Node that is to specify keyword struct before name Node.
Function addNode shall change the original value of head. In your function realization you change only the copy of head passed as argument to the function.
The function could look as:
void addNode(Node **head, int n)
{
Node *NewNode = new Node {n, *head};
*head = NewNode;
}
Or if your compiler does not support the new syntax of initialization then you could write
void addNode(Node **head, int n)
{
Node *NewNode = new Node;
NewNode->x = n;
NewNode->next = *head;
*head = NewNode;
}
Or instead of using a pointer to pointer you could use a reference to pointer to Node. For example,
void addNode(Node * &head, int n)
{
Node *NewNode = new Node {n, head};
head = NewNode;
}
Or you could return an updated head from the function:
Node * addNode(Node *head, int n)
{
Node *NewNode = new Node {n, head};
head = NewNode;
return head;
}
And in main write:
head = addNode(head, 5);
The addNode function needs to be able to change head. As it's written now simply changes the local variable head (a parameter).
Changing the code to
void addNode(struct Node *& head, int n){
...
}
would solve this problem because now the head parameter is passed by reference and the called function can mutate it.
head is defined inside the main as follows.
struct Node *head = new Node;
But you are changing the head in addNode() and initNode() functions only. The changes are not reflected back on the main.
Make the declaration of the head as global and do not pass it to functions.
The functions should be as follows.
void initNode(int n){
head->x = n;
head->next = NULL;
}
void addNode(int n){
struct Node *NewNode = new Node;
NewNode-> x = n;
NewNode->next = head;
head = NewNode;
}
I think that, to make sure the indeep linkage of each node in the list, the addNode method must be like this:
void addNode(struct node *head, int n) {
if (head->Next == NULL) {
struct node *NewNode = new node;
NewNode->value = n;
NewNode->Next = NULL;
head->Next = NewNode;
}
else
addNode(head->Next, n);
}
Use:
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Node
{
int num;
Node *next;
};
Node *head = NULL;
Node *tail = NULL;
void AddnodeAtbeggining(){
Node *temp = new Node;
cout << "Enter the item";
cin >> temp->num;
temp->next = NULL;
if (head == NULL)
{
head = temp;
tail = temp;
}
else
{
temp->next = head;
head = temp;
}
}
void addnodeAtend()
{
Node *temp = new Node;
cout << "Enter the item";
cin >> temp->num;
temp->next = NULL;
if (head == NULL){
head = temp;
tail = temp;
}
else{
tail->next = temp;
tail = temp;
}
}
void displayNode()
{
cout << "\nDisplay Function\n";
Node *temp = head;
for(Node *temp = head; temp != NULL; temp = temp->next)
cout << temp->num << ",";
}
void deleteNode ()
{
for (Node *temp = head; temp != NULL; temp = temp->next)
delete head;
}
int main ()
{
AddnodeAtbeggining();
addnodeAtend();
displayNode();
deleteNode();
displayNode();
}
In a code there is a mistake:
void deleteNode ()
{
for (Node * temp = head; temp! = NULL; temp = temp-> next)
delete head;
}
It is necessary so:
for (; head != NULL; )
{
Node *temp = head;
head = temp->next;
delete temp;
}
Here is my implementation.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
template< class T>
struct node{
T m_data;
node* m_next_node;
node(T t_data, node* t_node) :
m_data(t_data), m_next_node(t_node){}
~node(){
std::cout << "Address :" << this << " Destroyed" << std::endl;
}
};
template<class T>
class linked_list {
public:
node<T>* m_list;
linked_list(): m_list(nullptr){}
void add_node(T t_data) {
node<T>* _new_node = new node<T>(t_data, nullptr);
_new_node->m_next_node = m_list;
m_list = _new_node;
}
void populate_nodes(node<T>* t_node) {
if (t_node != nullptr) {
std::cout << "Data =" << t_node->m_data
<< ", Address =" << t_node->m_next_node
<< std::endl;
populate_nodes(t_node->m_next_node);
}
}
void delete_nodes(node<T>* t_node) {
if (t_node != nullptr) {
delete_nodes(t_node->m_next_node);
}
delete(t_node);
}
};
int main()
{
linked_list<float>* _ll = new linked_list<float>();
_ll->add_node(1.3);
_ll->add_node(5.5);
_ll->add_node(10.1);
_ll->add_node(123);
_ll->add_node(4.5);
_ll->add_node(23.6);
_ll->add_node(2);
_ll->populate_nodes(_ll->m_list);
_ll->delete_nodes(_ll->m_list);
delete(_ll);
return 0;
}
link list by using node class and linked list class
this is just an example not the complete functionality of linklist, append function and printing a linklist is explained in the code
code :
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
Node class
class Node{
public:
int data;
Node* next=NULL;
Node(int data)
{
this->data=data;
}
};
link list class named as ll
class ll{
public:
Node* head;
ll(Node* node)
{
this->head=node;
}
void append(int data)
{
Node* temp=this->head;
while(temp->next!=NULL)
{
temp=temp->next;
}
Node* newnode= new Node(data);
// newnode->data=data;
temp->next=newnode;
}
void print_list()
{ cout<<endl<<"printing entire link list"<<endl;
Node* temp= this->head;
while(temp->next!=NULL)
{
cout<<temp->data<<endl;
temp=temp->next;
}
cout<<temp->data<<endl;;
}
};
main function
int main()
{
cout<<"hello this is an example of link list in cpp using classes"<<endl;
ll list1(new Node(1));
list1.append(2);
list1.append(3);
list1.print_list();
}

I am a beginner in C++ and need help in many things. Well, for the starters, I have been working on Linked List and not really getting why my header(the first pointer which points towards first node) keep on rotating. I am just pointing it towards first node plus my display node is just displaying last node, why is it so?. Please tell me where I am wrong. Thank you in advance
#include <iostream>
#include <conio.h>
using namespace std;
struct Node
{
int data;
Node *link;
};
Node* create_Node()
{
int no_of_nodes;
Node *header = new Node;
Node *ptr = new Node;
header = ptr;
cout << "Enter no of nodes:";
cin >> no_of_nodes;
cout << "Enter data:";
for(int n = 0; n < no_of_nodes; n++)
{
cin >> ptr->data;
Node *temp = new Node;
ptr->link = temp;
temp = ptr;
}
ptr->link = NULL;
return ptr;
}
void display_link_list(Node * list)
{
Node *temp = new Node;
temp = list;
while(temp != NULL)
{
if(temp->link != NULL)
{
cout << "List:" << list->data << endl;
temp = temp->link;
}
}
}
int main()
{
Node *n = new Node;
n = create_Node();
display_link_list(n);
getch();
return 0;
}
Welcome to C++. My advice here is to break the Linked list into two. First the Nodes and then a List struct.
struct Node
{
int data;
Node *next;
Node(int data) : data(data), next(NULL) {}
};
struct List {
Node* tail;
Node* head;
List() : head(NULL), tail(NULL) {}
void insert(int data) {
if(head==NULL) {
head = new Node(data);
tail = head;
} else {
tail->next = new Node(data);
tail = tail->next;
}
}
};
Now you can insert one element into the list at a time and use head to print the list from beginning to end.
Something basic that you need to understand:
When you do Node* p = new Node, you are setting variable p to point to the start address of a piece of memory, the size of which being equal to sizeof(Node).
Now, when you then do p = something else (which often appears in your code), you are essentially overriding the previous value of p with some other value. It is like doing:
int i = 5;
i = 6;
So your code does not do what you're expecting to begin with.
In addition to that, what's bad about overriding the first value with a second value in this case, is the fact that the first value is the address of a dynamically-allocated piece of memory, that you will need to delete at a later point in your program. And once you've used p to store a different value, you no longer "remember" that address, hence you cannot delete that piece of memory.
So you should start by fixing this problem in each of the following places:
Node *header = new Node; // Variable 'header' is assigned
header = ptr; // Variable 'header' is reassigned
Node *temp = new Node; // Variable 'temp' is assigned
temp = list; // Variable 'temp' is reassigned
Node *n = new Node; // Variable 'n' is assigned
n = create_Node(); // Variable 'n' is reassigned
THs following code is crashing, and I'm unsure why. Trying to count the number of times an integer is found in the following linked list..However xcode keeps saying the int count=0 from the main is breaking a thread?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Node {
int val;
Node *next;
};
int countNum (Node *head, int key);
Node* cons (int x, Node* p);
int main()
{
Node *head = (1,cons(2,cons(2,(cons(4,(cons(5,nullptr)))))));
int counts=0;
counts= countNum(head,2);
cout<< counts<< head;
return 0;
}
Node* cons (int x, Node* p){
Node *q=new Node;
q->val=x;
q->next=p;
return p;
}
int countNum (Node *head, int key) {
int count=0;
if (head==nullptr)
return 0;
Node *follow=head;
while (follow!=nullptr) {
if(follow->val==key)
count++;
follow=follow->next;
}
cout<<count;
return count;
}
use Node *head = cons(1,cons(2,cons(2,(cons(4,(cons(5,nullptr)))))));
I think you want to return a pointer to the current node instead of the next node. Also I don't think you can do:
Node *head = (1, ptrToNextNode);
Something like this might work:
struct Node *head = malloc(sizeof (struct Node));
head->value = 1;
head->next = cons(2,cons(2,(cons(4,(cons(5,nullptr))))));
...
Node* cons (int x, Node* p)
{
Node *q=new Node;
q->val=x;
q->next=p;
return q;
}
