  So you dereference pointers without checking they are not NULL
first ??? I have no contextual information, I don't know how doc
was created, from what document, etc ...
  All I know is that accessing the name field of nodes works
for the thousand of places where I use them in the library, when 
possible depending on the node type. I think you should read
existing examples present on the web site and existing documentation,
like http://xmlsoft.org/example.html and make sure you understand
them before going further trying to develop your own code.
Oh and the use of a debugger is really the right way to debug your
your code, posting out of context fragments is basically useless,
