What happens when realloc() cannot extend a block in place ?
Answer: C
Correct answer: It allocates a new block, copies the contents and frees the old one
When there is not enough adjacent free space, realloc() obtains a fresh block, copies the existing data across, releases the old block and returns the new address. This is why the returned pointer must always be captured rather than assumed unchanged.
