A more detailed notice is on realloc(3p).

Yes. But i think it will lead to bugs when there is a documentation
that describes the behavior of realloc(), says realloc(ptr,0) will do
free(ptr), says realloc() is conforming to POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008,
C89, C99.
But does not mention that the realloc(ptr,0) is not specified in this
standards (except C89).

And there are some distributions that do not include the realloc(3p)
man page. On my Debian Buster (10) there is no realloc(3p) man page
and man realloc goes to the malloc man page of the Linux Programmer's
Manual.
But maybe this is a problem of the distributions/Debian?

Thanks for the report, Johannes!
Please review that your name is correct (I guessed it from the email).

Yes it is. Should i configure my name somewhere?

No, don't worry.  It was only for the "Reported-by" line in the patch.

Regards,

Alex
