Xorg 1.18.0 fails to start with XNFreallocarray error. Took me some time to run with MALLOC_DEBUG=2 to find out. MALLOC_STANDARD is not affected. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Summary of changes: libc/stdlib/malloc/realloc.c | 6 ++++-- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/libc/stdlib/malloc/realloc.c b/libc/stdlib/malloc/realloc.c index 8d55289..bdfb526 100644 --- a/libc/stdlib/malloc/realloc.c +++ b/libc/stdlib/malloc/realloc.c @@ -26,14 +26,16 @@ realloc (void *mem, size_t new_size) size_t size; char *base_mem; + if (! mem) + return malloc (new_size); + /* Check for special cases. */ if (! new_size) { free (mem); return NULL; } - if (! mem) - return malloc (new_size); + /* This matches the check in malloc() */ if (unlikely(((unsigned long)new_size > (unsigned long)(MALLOC_HEADER_SIZE*-2)))) return NULL; hooks/post-receive -- uClibc-ng - small C library for embedded systems
