C Pointer becomes NULL in a loop

I found many questions "pointer becomes NULL", but struggling to apply the answers to my problem.

I have 3 nested structures. Struct A

must contain an array struct B

, which contains one structure C

, which itself must contain an array int

:

typedef struct {
    int32_t *data;
    uint16_t nData;
    uint16_t dataOffset;        
} Window;

typdef struct {
    Window *window;
    const char *datasetPath;
} Dataset

typedef struct {
    char *id;
    uint8_t count;
    Dataset *datasets;
} DatasetGroup;

      

I have a function new

for structs:

int8_t dataset_new(Dataset *ds, const char *datasetPath, uint16_t winSize){
    ds->datasetPath = datasetPath;
    ds->window = malloc(sizeof(*(ds->window));
    ds->window->data = malloc(sizeof(int32_t) * (winSize));
    return 0;

int8_t datasetgroup_new(DatasetGroup *dg, char *id){
    dg->id = id;
    dg->count = 0;
    dg->datasets = malloc(sizeof(*(dg->datasets)) * 255);
}

      

And I have a function add

to add Dataset

to DatasetGroup

:

int8_t datasetgroup_add(DatasetGroup *dg, const char *filePath, uint16_t winSize){
       // Create the dataset
       Dataset ds; 
       dataset_new(&ds, filePath, winSize);

       // Add the dataset to the dataset array
       dg->datasets[dg->count] = ds;
       dg->count++;
       return 0;
       }

      

Then I iterate over the data through the dataset to populate the data, doing things like:

     for (i = 0 ; i < datasetCount ; i++){
         Dataset *ds = &(dg->datasets[i])

      

Always in the second introduction the array data

becomes a null pointer: data = ds-> window-> data p>

I understand that I did something wrong by missing pointers (?), But I'm not sure what exactly I did wrong ....

It looks great. So check the other part of the code. You can debug the code line by line so that you can understand the segment that is creating this error.
