Re: [ros-dev] [ros-diffs] [greatlrd] 22195: make malloc, calloc and some other function return NULL if size is 0

[D. Hazelton]

Sorry about that last post. I forgot that MS never follows published 
specifications. The ANSI C standard states that malloc() of any memory should 
either allocate the memory or fail - most implementations of the standard C 
library return NULL on a call to malloc with 0 as the size.

Calls to realloc() with size as 0 are supposed to free the pointer.

However, MS doesn't follow ANSI at all, anywhere, and since ReactOS is meant 
to be 100% binary compatable with Windows it should follow the MSDN specs for 
functions.
