static void* realloc_or_free	(	void *	p,
		size_t	sz
	)			[inline, static]

This wrapper around realloc() will free the input pointer when realloc() returns NULL.

The use case ptr = realloc(ptr, newsize) will cause a memory leak when ptr pointed to a heap allocation before, leaving the buffer allocated but unreferenced. vlc_realloc() is a drop-in replacement for that use case (and only that use case).
