Subject: Updates on n3752, alx-0029r8 - Restore the traditional realloc(3)
specification
Hi Robert, and all,
I've been talking with the team at Microsoft that is responsible for
realloc(3).
They are "definitely interested in incorporating the change". They are
also going to "coordinate [with the OS group] to perform thorough
testing to understand the impact of the change".
This may take some time, and will come back to me with the feedback of
that. The communication with them is quite fluent, BTW.
I think this is great news for fixing and unifying realloc(3). Also,
it's also great to see a big company like Microsoft will put their
resources into testing this, as they have resources that we voluntary
maintainers of open source projects don't have (or would have to take
from some other changes).
Robert, I'd like to withdraw the paper from the next meeting. I'll
write a new paper once Microsoft tells me their testing results and
feedback, incorporating them.
Have a lovely night!
Alex
