In working with object oriented code, we OFTEN create and return zero
length arrays when we are returning an array and have nothing to return
(ex: zero records from a database fetch.)
Accepting a zero length request, and returning a zero byte long
allocation
(out of
print, alas!) book, "Debugging C") have served me quite well for many years.
As to non-portability, this code compiles without errors or warnings with
strict ANSI compiler switches.
As to the question of requests to allocate zero bytes, I would consider
those to be dom

Right. It shouldn't have to. Well-written programs do not access
uninitialized memory.
This doesn't jive well when adding new fields to

Although looking at the xmalloc call, I don't know if it's such
a good thing for it to take a 0 length request and turn it into
a 1 byte request. Why would we need to
