firestring_realloc - realloc(3) with internal result checking
#include <firestring.h>
-lfirestring
void *firestring_realloc(void *old, const size_t
new)
firestring_realloc() acts exactly like realloc(3) except that it detects
realloc failures, prints an error and exit(3) with exit status
EXIT_FAILURE. In most programs, realloc failures are unrecoverable, and this
is the preferred behaviour.
If firestring_realloc() returns, it always returns a string of new
bytes containing the data from old at the beginning. It never
returns NULL.
