/* /*
REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES controls the behavior of realloc (p, 0) The REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES macro controls the behavior of realloc (p, 0)
when p is nonnull. If nonzero, realloc (p, 0) should free p and when p is nonnull. If the macro is nonzero, the realloc call returns NULL;
return NULL. Otherwise, realloc (p, 0) should do the equivalent otherwise, the call returns what malloc (0) would. In either case,
of freeing p and returning what malloc (0) would return. p is freed. Glibc uses a nonzero REALLOC_ZERO_BYTES_FREES, which
implements common historical practice.
ISO C17 says the behavior is implementation-defined here; glibc ISO C17 says the realloc call has implementation-defined behavior,
follows historical practice and defines it to be nonzero. and it might not even free p.
