The realloc() does not seem to be using the contents in the buffer from the previous round, so I suspect that a free() followed by an independent alloc() would be an improvement when the later call uses much larger buffer than the previous one, but would be a waste if the later one needs smaller buffer. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
