[pacman-dev] [PATCH] Add REALLOC macro to simplify realloc error handling
realloc can fail just like the other memory allocation functions. Add a macro to simplify handling of realloc failures, similar to the already existing MALLOC, CALLOC, etc. Replace the existing realloc uses with the new macro, allowing us to move tedious error handling to the macro. Also, in be_package and be_sync, this fixes hypothetical memory leaks (and thereafter null pointer dereferences) in case realloc fails to shrink the allocated memory.

Ack.
