Creating a structure array in C - c

Question

I am working on a programming assignment in C, which is about creating basic automation for cinema halls.
For holding data of halls, I define a structure like this:
typedef struct {
char *hallName;
char *movieName;
seat** hallSeats;
int studentCount;
int fullFareCount;
int totalSum;
int width;
int height;
}Hall;
So I am given a text file with commands and whenever I came up with a specific command, I should create a separate hall. For that reason, I created another function for that.
Hall makeHall(char **temp) //TEMP HOLDING THE LINES FROM FILE
{
int width = strToInt(temp[3]);
int height = strToInt(temp[4]);
char currentRowLetter = 'A';
int currentRow;
int currentSeat;
seat **hall = malloc(sizeof(seat*) * width );
for (currentRow=0 ; currentRow < width ; currentRow++)
{
hall[currentRow] = malloc(sizeof(seat) * height );
for(currentSeat=0; currentSeat < height ; currentSeat++)
{
hall[currentRow][currentSeat].rowLetter = currentRowLetter;
hall[currentRow][currentSeat].seatNumber = currentSeat + 1;
hall[currentRow][currentSeat].seatTaken = ' ';
}
++currentRowLetter;
}
Hall newHall;
newHall.hallName = temp[1];
newHall.movieName = temp[2];
newHall.hallSeats = hall;
newHall.width = width;
newHall.height = height;
return newHall;
}
Since I will have multiple halls, I created a Hall array in order to access them later.
Hall *allHalls = malloc(sizeof(Hall) * 10); /*Hall placeholder*/
While I iterate over the lines, I check commands and create halls or sell tickets.
Hall *allHalls = malloc(sizeof(Hall) * 10); /*Hall placeholder*/
FILE *f;
f = fopen("input.txt", "rt");
char *line = malloc (sizeof(char) * 200); /*LINE HOLDER*/
int currentLineNumber = 0;
char *tmp;
int hallNumber = 0;
while (1) { /*PARSING FILE*/
if (fgets(line,200, f) == NULL) break; /*FILE END CHECKER*/
currentLineNumber++;
tmp = strtok(line," ");
char **temp = malloc(sizeof(char*) * 6);
int currentWordNumber = 0;
while(tmp != NULL) /*PARSING LINES*/
{
temp[currentWordNumber] = malloc(strlen(tmp) + 1);
strcpy(temp[currentWordNumber],tmp);
tmp = strtok (NULL, " ");
currentWordNumber++;
}
if(!strcmp("CREATEHALL",temp[0]))
{
allHalls[hallNumber] = makeHall(temp); /*<<<<<<<PROBLEM*/
hallNumber++;
printf("%d\n",hallNumber);
}
Now that's the part I am lost at. Whenever I tried to access the array, the program crashes.
I thought it was a memory problem, so increased memory allocated by malloc for allHalls to 40 (even though it should not be a problem, since file only gives 3 different halls) and program no longer crashes, but instead overwrites the previous hall in the array.
I tried multiple solutions but none of them came out any good, so closest I get is this.
I did use java a lot before, so I am still stuck to OOP and pretty new to C.
EDIT
Seat is defined as
typedef struct {
char rowLetter;
int seatNumber;
char seatTaken;
}seat;
also example createhall command is
CREATEHALL Hall_A Avatar 24 20
while the numbers at the end being width and height for hall

I got the bug:
At the bottom of the while(1) loop in main you do a free(allHalls); so now there are no more halls and you get a segfault...
It was in the code you didn't show us:
while (1) {
...
if(!strcmp("CREATEHALL",temp[0]))
{
allHalls[hallNumber] = makeHall(temp); /*<<<<<<<PROBLEM*/
hallNumber++;
printf("%d\n",hallNumber);
}
....
free(temp);
free(allHalls); // <-- there's your bug
}
fclose(f);
free(line);
