Why is my linked list adding nodes to the beginning of the list rather than the end?

Why is this linked list adding nodes to the beginning and how can I change it to add them to the end of the list?

`

    struct Node 
    {
        void *function;
        void *caller;
        void *framePointer;
        void *stackFrameBeginningAddress;
        void *stackFrameEndingAddress;
        long startTime;
        long finishTime;
        struct Node *next;
    };

    void push(struct Node** head, void *function, void *caller, void *framePointer, void            *stackBegin, void *stackEnd, long start)
    {
        struct Node* newNode = (struct Node*) malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
        newNode->next = NULL;

        newNode->function = function;
        newNode->caller = caller;
        newNode->framePointer = framePointer;
        newNode->stackFrameBeginningAddress = stackBegin;
        newNode->stackFrameEndingAddress = stackEnd;
        newNode->startTime = start;

        newNode->next = (*head);
        (*head) = newNode;
    }

`

I have tried adding the node to the end using a while loop, but then face segmentation faults. I believe the problem might lie in memory allocation?

>Solution :

(*head) = newNode; means you are updating the head. If you want to update the tail you either need to keep track of it:

(*tail)->next = malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
*tail = (*tail)->next;

Possible moving both the head and tail pointers to a struct LinkedList. Then you only update the head when it’s the first node, i.e.:

if(!*head) {
   *head = *tail;
}

Another less great option is to walk the list starting at the head to find the tail before each insert.
