you pass in the same instance of a string every time

#

event_name always points to the same location

i didn't know this before either, but it looks like something that will vary between every single execution and on onlinegdb.com it seems like the memory addresses are consistently reused every time https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62432414/c-why-variables-created-in-a-loop-have-the-same-memory-address

Stack Overflow
C - Why variables created in a loop have the same memory address?

Just a simple example of my problem:

while(condition){
int number = 0;
printf("%p", &number);
}
That variable will always be in the same memory address. Why?

And what's the real diff...

#

if you add in some print statements you will see that the event_name inside your while loop has the same address every time, the event_name inside your add_event() function call has the same address every time (but different from the one in the while loop), and the only one that differs is the event_name address in the events array
