Uniras 7.0 - Patch P0701

PATCH NO:	P0701
DATE:	26-01-1998
SUBJECT:	Solve XtRealloc problem on SunOS 4.1.x

ABSTRACT

Gsharp aborts under SunOs with "Xt ERROR: cannot perform realloc" messages.

SOLUTION

This patch is due to an error in realloc on SunOS. If called with the legal zero size, it will malfunction. We implement our own private version of XtRealloc. It shows the same behaviour as P0141 in UNIRAS 6.5A, but is caused by realloc(ptr,size) not being able to handle size=0, while the former one was caused by XtRealloc(ptr, size) not always being able to handle ptr=NULL.

AVAILABLE PLATFORMS

Sun SPARC - SunOS 4.1.4
