list *temp;
temp = malloc(sizeof(list));

free(temp);
C doesn't have the new keyword - you've got to allocate and free the memory you'd like to use manually. new also does some work behind the scenes, like calling constructors and returning the proper pointer type - malloc doesn't cover that, and has to be handled by the programmer.
