不兼容类型-- struct*和struct，

Question

谢谢你抽出时间阅读我的问题，我看了几个类似的问题，这些问题在这种情况下似乎没有帮助，尽管它们可能会帮助其他有类似麻烦的人：

C: Incompatible types?

Struct as incompatible pointer type in C

Incompatible Types Error with Struct C

我试图在c (-std=c99)中创建一个简单的链接列表结构，我的结构在这一点上是相当通用的：

typedef struct
{
  int count;
  char* word;
  struct node *nextNode;
}node;

然后在一个函数中，我有一个“根”或"head“节点：

node *root;
root = (node *) malloc(sizeof(node));

我尝试将一个node分配给后面函数中的根节点nextNode，如下所示：

if(root->nextNode == 0)
{
  root->nextNode = foo;
}

这会导致错误：

 "error incompatibles types when assigning to type `struct node*` from type `node`

&foo没有改善这种情况，反而导致了lvalue required as unary样式的错误。

以下是围绕我的问题的背景：

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <string.h>

    typedef struct
    {
        int count;
        char* word;
        struct node *nextNode;
    }node;

    node makenode(char *word)
    {
        node x;
        x.word = word;
        x.count = 1;
        return x;
    }

    void processInput(int threshold, const char* filename)
    {   
        node *root;
        root = (node *) malloc(sizeof(node)); 
        root->nextNode = 0;  
        char* word;
        while(fgets(word, 29, stdin) != NULL){
            if(root->nextNode == 0)
            {
                root->nextNode = makenode(word);
            }

问题

    typedef struct             // make an alias for a structure with no tag name
    {
        int count;
        char* word;
        struct node *nextNode; // with a pointer to struct node (which does not exit)
    }node;                     // name the alias node

解决方案

    typedef struct node        // make an alias for a structure with tag name node
    {
        int count;
        char* word;
        struct node *nextNode; // with a pointer to struct node (which is this one)
    }node;                     // name the alias node

试试这段代码

     #include <stdio.h>
    #include <malloc.h>
    #include <string.h>

    typedef struct node //should give a name for this 
    {
        int count;
        char* word;
        struct node *nextNode;
    }node;

    static node *makenode(char *word) //start with static and returning type is node* because we are storing this output in root->nextNode which is *node pointer
    {
        node x;
        x.word = word;
        x.count = 1;
        return x;
    }

    void processInput(int threshold, const char* filename)
    {   
        node *root;
        root = (node *) malloc(sizeof(node)); 
        root->nextNode = NULL;  //pointer values should initialised to NULL not 0
        char* word;
        while(fgets(word, 29, stdin) != NULL){
            if(root->nextNode == NULL) ////pointer values should initialised to NULL not 0
            {
                root->nextNode = makenode(word);
            }
}
