Casting to void*.

Hello :)
well as the title says, i have a problem with casting to void*.

so, I made a linked list class at c++. heres the list :

class LinkedList
{

struct LinkedListObject
{
void* data;
LinkedListObject *nxt_obj;
}*list_head;

void AddObj(void* data);
}

So, at the AddObj function, I have a little problem. thats the function:

void LinkedList::AddObj(void* data)
{
LinkedListObject *object;
if(list_head==NULL)
{

object->data=data;

object->nxt_obj=NULL;

list_head=object;

return;
}
...
}

when i try to use the function on other class, i mean when im trying to add an object to the list , the program shut down at the line object->data=data.
for example:
Location l; (Location is a class at my prog)
...
list.AddObj(&l).
as I said the program shut down at the line object->data=data..

help?

that should because you use LinkedListObject *object in add method without allocating it
