Subject: [TUHS] Did realloc ever zero the new memory?
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2015 13:22:33 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <395F25EB-77F3-4830-A1AF-C27E43550C04@kdbarto.org> (raw)

Buggy, sure.

Zero (less) filling, that is the question.

Realloc has had a difficult history, and I try to avoid it if at all possible.
