seg fault is somewhere

gistfile1.cpp

void remove(node** parent, int offset) {
  node* cursor = *parent;
  if (cursor->next==NULL || offset > size(*parent)) {
    return;
  } else if (offset==0) {
    cursor=cursor->next;
  } else {
    for (int i=1;i<offset;i++) {
      cursor=cursor->next;
    }
    cursor->next=cursor->next->next;
  }
}

well,
*cursor is a node.
but,
cursor is a node*
cursor->next is also a node*

There are a bunch of syntax errors in the above, so I assume you didn't paste in literally what you have.

At any rate, if cursor (the node pointer) is null, then calling cursor->next will segfault.

Paste in the RG output.

Output is in the file: /tmp/tmpVxLqvb/unit_test_output.txt

It gives the same message even when I comment out everything in the remove function (except the brackets so that the driver will run).
