Subject: perhaps we should add re[c]allocarray?
Hello,
reallocarray and recallocarray are BSD extensions that solve similar issues as
strlcpy/strlcat, but with array reallocations instead of strings.
reallocarray itself is already part of glibc since 2.28.
Unfortunately, while working on new ifupdown implementation for Alpine, I
wanted to use recallocarray because it is very helpful in terms of pushing new
strings to a string array (you will always maintain a NULL-terminated array,
and you don't have to worry about it) -- but I discovered musl still does not
have it.
Anyway, I think it would be useful to include both functions in musl 1.2.1.
If everyone agrees, I'll make a patch.
Ariadne
