Follow-up Comment #2:
> realloc(xxx, 0) is supposed to free the given memory block if xxx is not
NULL
Can you point me to a wording in the standard that would
require this? I can't seem to find something to that effect.
The rationale *allows* this to be one possible implementation,
but it's not mandated. Our implementation simply deallocates
as much as possible, and the returned object pointer is
consistent with a pointer to an object resulting out of
malloc(0).
I tend to dismiss the request since it bears the risk of
introducing new bugs, of course unless someone can prove the
existing implementation violates the C standard.
