If I do xrealloc (malloc (30), 1024 * 1024 * 1024) and it returns non-NULL, it certainly shouldn't be that it under the hood called realloc (ptr, 1) because the first realloc failed. If you add that if (!size) size =3D 1;, then I think what is meant is just void *ret =3D __builtin_realloc (ptr, size); if (!ret) { ret =3D __builtin_realloc (ptr, size); if (!ret) die (...); } return ret;=
