вы делаете
while(traverse->next!=NULL && alternate->next!=NULL)
traverse->next = alternate->next;
traverse = traverse->next;
alternate = traverse->next;
if((alternate->next)==NULL) //presence of this if statement causes segmentation fault
так на самом деле
while(traverse->next!=NULL && alternate->next!=NULL)
traverse = alternate->next;
alternate = traverse->next;
if((alternate->next)==NULL) //presence of this if statement causes segmentation fault
так на самом деле
while(traverse->next!=NULL && alternate->next!=NULL)
alternate = alternate->next->next;
if((alternate->next)==NULL) //presence of this if statement causes segmentation fault
так на самом деле
while(traverse->next!=NULL && alternate->next!=NULL)
if((alternate->next->next->next)==NULL) //presence of this if statement causes segmentation fault
когда alternate->next->next
равен NULL (не проверяется , в то время как ) alternate->next->next->next
вызывает ошибку сегментации
Решение:
void deleteAlt(struct Node * head)
{
if (head != NULL) {
while (head->next != NULL) {
Node * d = head->next;
head->next = head->next->next;
free(d);
head = head->next;
}
}
}
Полная программа для доказательства:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
typedef struct Node {
int v;
struct Node * next;
} Node;
Node * make(int v, Node * n)
{
Node * r = malloc(sizeof(Node));
r->v = v;
r->next = n;
return r;
}
void pr(Node * l)
{
while (l != NULL) {
printf("%d ", l->v);
l = l->next;
}
putchar('\n');
}
void deleteAlt(struct Node * head)
{
if (head != NULL) {
while (head->next != NULL) {
Node * d = head->next;
head->next = head->next->next;
free(d);
head = head->next;
}
}
}
int main()
{
Node * l = make(1, make(2, make(3, make(4, make(5, NULL)))));
pr(l);
deleteAlt(l);
pr(l);
/* free rest of list */
while (l != NULL) {
Node * n = l->next;
free(l);
l = n;
}
}

(правка) В случае, если длина списка может быть даже, определение должно быть изменено на:
void deleteAlt(struct Node * head)
{
while ((head != NULL) && (head->next != NULL)) {
Node * d = head->next;
head->next = head->next->next;
free(d);
head = head->next;
}
}
изменение main для проверки:
int main()
{
{
Node * l = make(1, make(2, make(3, make(4, make(5, NULL)))));
pr(l);
deleteAlt(l);
pr(l);
/* free rest of list */
