I think it's possible to have a pointer variable, that points to a function.
Never tried it, but I recall reading something about it.
I've been messing around some more.
For some reason, this method is changing the value. literally one line:
int getSize(int i)
return list[i].size;
Yes you can make a variable point to a function. I vaguely recall it being in a lab. Not sure why'd you would use it.
So what the assignment is, is to implement malloc (memory allocation).
But it requires a data structure to keep track of data locations.
I was using an array that would change length, by getting reassigned basically.
But apparently assigning the arrays that way has some unusual behaviors.
I changed all the declarations to utilizing malloc, which feels wrong. Now it works great.
It's apparently fine if the data structure uses malloc, but eh I don't like it.
Memory related issues are the hardest to debug. C's memory system isn't that good either (Was at the time I guess). Though as I tell all my students "Be kind to C and C will be kind to you" So use malloc and like it
