22 /* malloc() and realloc() are allowed to return NULL when asked to allocate
23 a memory block of 0 bytes; this is not an out-of-memory condition.
24 (See ISO C 99 section 7.20.3.) In some places, this is not welcome,
25 because it requires extra checking (so as not to confuse a zero-sized
26 allocation with an out-of-memory condition). This file provides
27 malloc()/realloc() workalikes which return non-NULL pointers for
28 succeeding zero-sized allocations. GNU libc already defines malloc()
29 and realloc() this way; on such platforms the workalikes are aliased
30 to the original malloc()/realloc() functions. */
