realloc3(3)
with internal result checking
Other Alias
firestring_realloc
SYNOPSIS
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void *firestring_realloc(void *old, const size_t new)
DESCRIPTION
firestring_realloc() acts exactly like
realloc(3)
except that it detects realloc failures, prints an error and
exit(3)
with exit status EXIT_FAILURE. In most programs, realloc
failures are unrecoverable, and this is the preferred
behaviour.
RETURN VALUE
If firestring_realloc() returns, it
always
returns a string of
new
bytes containing the data from
old
at the beginning. It
never
returns
NULL.
