120 otherwise, reallocate P so that it contains more than *PN objects
121 each of S bytes. S must be nonzero. Set *PN to the new number of
122 objects, and return the pointer to the new block. *PN is never set
123 to zero, and the returned pointer is never null.
125 Repeated reallocations are guaranteed to make progress, either by
126 allocating an initial block with a nonzero size, or by allocating a
127 larger block.
129 In the following implementation, nonzero sizes are increased by a
130 factor of approximately 1.5 so that repeated reallocations have
131 O(N) overall cost rather than O(N**2) cost, but the
132 specification for this function does not guarantee that rate.
134 Here is an example of use:
136 int *p = NULL;
137 size_t used = 0;
138 size_t allocated = 0;
140 void
141 append_int (int value)
143 if (used == allocated)
144 p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated, sizeof *p);
145 p[used++] = value;
148 This causes x2nrealloc to allocate a block of some nonzero size the
149 first time it is called.
151 To have finer-grained control over the initial size, set *PN to a
152 nonzero value before calling this function with P == NULL. For
153 example:
155 int *p = NULL;
156 size_t used = 0;
157 size_t allocated = 0;
158 size_t allocated1 = 1000;
160 void
161 append_int (int value)
163 if (used == allocated)
165 p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated1, sizeof *p);
