firestring_realloc3
Realloc(3) with internal result checking
Usage
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void *firestring_realloc(void *old, const size_t new)
Overview
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.
Releases
Unchanged in 6 releases since Debian 3.1 (Sarge).
