  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.  */
