#define alloc_nr(x) (((x)+16)*3/2)

/*
|
||||
* Realloc the buffer pointed at by variable 'x' so that it can hold
|
||||
* at least 'nr' entries; the number of entries currently allocated
|
||||
* is 'alloc', using the standard growing factor alloc_nr() macro.
|

/**
|
||||
* Dynamically growing an array using realloc() is error prone and boring.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Define your array with:
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - a pointer (`item`) that points at the array, initialized to `NULL`
|
||||
* (although please name the variable based on its contents, not on its
|
||||
* type);
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - an integer variable (`alloc`) that keeps track of how big the current
|
||||
* allocation is, initialized to `0`;
|
||||
*
|
||||
* - another integer variable (`nr`) to keep track of how many elements the
|
||||
* array currently has, initialized to `0`.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Then before adding `n`th element to the item, call `ALLOC_GROW(item, n,
|
||||
* alloc)`. This ensures that the array can hold at least `n` elements by
|
||||
* calling `realloc(3)` and adjusting `alloc` variable.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* ------------
|
||||
* sometype *item;
|
||||
* size_t nr;
|
||||
* size_t alloc
|
||||
*
|
||||
* for (i = 0; i < nr; i++)
|
||||
* if (we like item[i] already)
|
||||
* return;
|
||||
*
|
||||
* // we did not like any existing one, so add one
|
||||
* ALLOC_GROW(item, nr + 1, alloc);
|
||||
* item[nr++] = value you like;
|
||||
* ------------
|
||||
*
|
||||
* You are responsible for updating the `nr` variable.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* If you need to specify the number of elements to allocate explicitly
|
||||
* then use the macro `REALLOC_ARRAY(item, alloc)` instead of `ALLOC_GROW`.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Consider using ALLOC_GROW_BY instead of ALLOC_GROW as it has some
|
||||
* added niceties.
