The realloc_flags(), having different behavior from realloc(), should state what happens if: If the pointer is a null pointer, the function does not change anything. If the new size is zero, the function does not change anything. If the new size is the same as the old size, the function does not change anything. The return values have to be reviewed also. The function returns: - a pointer to the object specifid on entry - a null pointer if the object could not be modified - a null pointer if there was insufficient free memory available to extend the size of the object Reference to realloc(): http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/realloc/ jb _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
