127 each of S bytes. S must be nonzero. Set *PN to the new number of
128 objects, and return the pointer to the new block. *PN is never set
129 to zero, and the returned pointer is never null.
131 Repeated reallocations are guaranteed to make progress, either by
132 allocating an initial block with a nonzero size, or by allocating a
133 larger block.
135 In the following implementation, nonzero sizes are increased by a
136 factor of approximately 1.5 so that repeated reallocations have
137 O(N) overall cost rather than O(N**2) cost, but the
138 specification for this function does not guarantee that rate.
140 Here is an example of use:
142 int *p = NULL;
143 size_t used = 0;
144 size_t allocated = 0;
146 void
147 append_int (int value)
149 if (used == allocated)
150 p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated, sizeof *p);
151 p[used++] = value;
154 This causes x2nrealloc to allocate a block of some nonzero size the
155 first time it is called.
157 To have finer-grained control over the initial size, set *PN to a
158 nonzero value before calling this function with P == NULL. For
159 example:
161 int *p = NULL;
162 size_t used = 0;
163 size_t allocated = 0;
164 size_t allocated1 = 1000;
166 void
167 append_int (int value)
169 if (used == allocated)
