[PATCH 4/4] git-compat-util.h: dietlibc-friendly x{malloc,realloc,calloc}

From: Eric Wong <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:42:15
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

dietlibc versions of these allocators returns NULL if a size of zero is
specified.  Obviously, this is a problem with the x* wrappers since
we check for them returning NULL.

Down the line, it'd be better to hunt down and eliminate all calls to
these functions when they are called with a zero argument.  I've already
added some checks for these cases that were exposed by tests.
