NAME¶
firestring_realloc -
realloc(3) with internal result checking
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.
