LeetCode 234. Palindrome Linked List, a TLE weird case

Here is my AC submission. And I found a wierd circumstances when I remove this line dumyHead->next = NULL; my submission will yield a TLE.



I know if I don't set it to NULL it will cause a loop reference, but I use len as a counter to iterate over the list, so when len <= 0 the loop will stop. I run in my local env it stopped, but in leet code it TLE.



I use "Run Code" Function in LeetCode, so there is only one case. My test case is [1,2,1]



So How dose this happen? Is it released to compiler? My local env is macOS, use g++ (detail in the end of this question).



My full code



/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
bool isPalindrome(ListNode* head) {
if(head == NULL) {
return true;
}
int len = 1;
ListNode* check = head->next;
while(check != NULL) {
check = check->next;
len++;
}
check = head->next;
ListNode* prev = head;
for(int i = 0; i < len / 2; i++) {
prev = check;
check = check->next;
}
// reverse
ListNode* dumyHead = prev;
ListNode* tmp = NULL;
while(check != NULL) {
tmp = check->next;
check->next = prev;
prev = check;
check = tmp;
}
// comment this line will cause TLE
dumyHead->next = NULL;

len /= 2;
while(len > 0) {
if(prev->val != head->val) {
return false;
}
prev = prev->next;
head = head->next;
len--;
}
return true;
}
};
