When it cannot honour your request for memory it BOMBS your program with a "virtual memory exceeded" message. Realloc() returns NULL and does not bomb your program. SEE ALSO realloc () */ #ifdef USG #include #endif char * xrealloc (ptr, n) register char *ptr; long n; { char *realloc (); void error(); if ((ptr = realloc (ptr, (unsigned)n)) == 0) error ("virtual memory exceeded"); return (ptr); } /* end: xrealloc.c */
