realloc函数使用

---

学习内容

realloc函数可以用来减少指针指向的内存，如下示例trim函数会把字符串中开头的空白符删掉，并重新分配buffer指向内存的大小。

学习产出

char * trim(char* phrase)
{
    char* old = phrase;
    char* new = phrase;

    while(*old == ' ')
    {
        old++;
    }

    while(*old)
    {
        *(new++) = *(old++);
    }

    *new = '\0';
    return (char*) realloc(phrase, strlen(phrase)+1);
}

int main()
{
    char* buffer = (char*)malloc(strlen("     cat")+1);
    strcpy(buffer, "     cat");

    printf("Before =%s, length = %d\n",buffer,strlen(buffer));

    buffer = trim(buffer);
    printf("After =%s, length = %d\n\n",buffer,strlen(buffer));
}

运行结果如下：
