* talloc as defined in the book, compilation error

jimchen

#include <stdio.h>
struct node {
       int element;
       struct node * next;
       }

struct node * talloc ()
{
       return (struct node *) malloc (sizeof (struct node));
}

Why does DEV CPP prompt when compiling:
two or more data types declaration of 'talloc'

The following procedure is as follows

main ()
{
      struct node * head;
      struct node * rear;
      struct node * p;
      head = talloc ();
      (* head) .element = 1;
      head-> next = NULL;
      
      rear = talloc ();
      (* rear) .element = 2;
      rear-> next = NULL;
      
      head-> next = rear;
      p = head;
      while (p-> next! = NULL) {
            printf ("% d\n", (* p) .element);
            p = p-> next;
            }
            
      return 0;
}

struct node {
       int element;
       struct node * next;
       }; / * Semi-colon * /

malloc memory space, finally free up to use up

lklklk

struct node {
       int element;
       struct node * next;
       }
Add a semicolon!
Classes and structures are defined with a semicolon at the end.

It is estimated that a struct is removed after return
