Re: Saving data

typedef struct dummy // global definition
{
    char* p1;
    char* p2;

}d;

d d1;

void foobar()
{
    // allocate memory from heap
    d1.p1 = (char*)malloc(strlen("hello"+1)*sizeof(char));
    strcpy(d1.p1, "hello");

}

void main()
{
   foobar();
   printf("d1.p1 = %s\n", p1.d1); // PROBLEM: junk is printed.
   free(d1.p1);

}

I think I know why junk is printed because when foo exits, p1 data
vanishes, i.e, goes out of scope. How can I fix this?

Bare with me, I started out on writing a C++ program in MS VS2005 but
C has me figuring it out.

Thanks
