122 each of S bytes. *PN must be nonzero unless P is null, and S must
123 be nonzero. Set *PN to the new number of objects, and return the
124 pointer to the new block. *PN is never set to zero, and the
125 returned pointer is never null.
127 Repeated reallocations are guaranteed to make progress, either by
128 allocating an initial block with a nonzero size, or by allocating a
129 larger block.
131 In the following implementation, nonzero sizes are increased by a
132 factor of approximately 1.5 so that repeated reallocations have
133 O(N) overall cost rather than O(N**2) cost, but the
134 specification for this function does not guarantee that rate.
136 Here is an example of use:
138 int *p = NULL;
139 size_t used = 0;
140 size_t allocated = 0;
142 void
143 append_int (int value)
145 if (used == allocated)
146 p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated, sizeof *p);
147 p[used++] = value;
150 This causes x2nrealloc to allocate a block of some nonzero size the
151 first time it is called.
153 To have finer-grained control over the initial size, set *PN to a
154 nonzero value before calling this function with P == NULL. For
155 example:
157 int *p = NULL;
158 size_t used = 0;
159 size_t allocated = 0;
160 size_t allocated1 = 1000;
162 void
163 append_int (int value)
165 if (used == allocated)
167 p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated1, sizeof *p);
168 allocated = allocated1;
170 p[used++] = value;
175 XALLOC_INLINE void *
176 x2nrealloc (void *p, size_t *pn, size_t s)
178 size_t n = *pn;
180 if (! p)
182 if (! n)
184 /* The approximate size to use for initial small allocation
185 requests, when the invoking code specifies an old size of
186 zero. This is the largest "small" request for the GNU C
187 library malloc. */
