malloc和realloc的使用

/* REALLOC.C: This program allocates a block of memory for

 * buffer and then uses _msize to display the size of that

 * block. Next, it uses realloc to expand the amount of

 * memory used by buffer and then calls _msize again to

 * display the new amount of memory allocated to buffer.

Output

Size of block after malloc of 1000 longs: 4000

Size of block after realloc of 1000 more longs: 8000
