c - if a pointer is freed, how about the content it points to? will it be influenced or not? -

as in following code:

typedef struct list {   ...   ...   struct data *data; } list;  list* list = (list*)malloc(sizeof(list)) struct data* data = (struct data*) malloc(sizeof(struct data));   .....// here fill `data`  list->data = data;  ....  struct data* new_data = list->data;  free(list); /* question is: `free` influence `new_data` */ 

i have structure list, in there pointer, points content, if ist freed, pointer freed how new_data, influenced or not? thanks!

the contents of new_data not affected. still valid after "parent" data freed.
