Function Documentation

void* explain_realloc_or_die	(	void *	ptr,
		size_t	size
	)

The explain_realloc_or_die function is used to call the realloc(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_realloc(3) function, and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:

 void *new_ptr = explain_realloc_or_die(ptr, size);

Parameters:

ptr	The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.
size	The size, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

Returns:

This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits, it does not return.
