| 23 | NAME | |
| 24 | xrealloc () - get more memory or bust | |
| 25 | INDEX | |
| 26 | xrealloc () uses realloc () | |
| 27 | SYNOPSIS | |
| 28 | char *my_memory; | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | my_memory = xrealloc (my_memory, 42); | |
| 31 | / * my_memory gets (perhaps new) address of 42 chars * / | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | Use xrealloc () as an "error-free" realloc ().It does almost the same | |
| 36 | job. When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your | |
| 37 | program with a "virtual memory exceeded" message. Realloc() returns | |
| 38 | NULL and does not bomb your program. | |
