     96    otherwise, reallocate P so that it contains more than *PN objects
     97    each of S bytes.  *PN must be nonzero unless P is null, and S must
     98    be nonzero.  Set *PN to the new number of objects, and return the
     99    pointer to the new block.  *PN is never set to zero, and the
    100    returned pointer is never null.
    101 
    102    Repeated reallocations are guaranteed to make progress, either by
    103    allocating an initial block with a nonzero size, or by allocating a
    104    larger block.
    105 
    106    In the following implementation, nonzero sizes are doubled so that
    107    repeated reallocations have O(N log N) overall cost rather than
    108    O(N**2) cost, but the specification for this function does not
    109    guarantee that sizes are doubled.
    110 
    111    Here is an example of use:
    112 
    113      int *p = NULL;
    114      size_t used = 0;
    115      size_t allocated = 0;
    116 
    117      void
    118      append_int (int value)
    119        {
    120 	 if (used == allocated)
    121 	   p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated, sizeof *p);
    122 	 p[used++] = value;
    123        }
    124 
    125    This causes x2nrealloc to allocate a block of some nonzero size the
    126    first time it is called.
    127 
    128    To have finer-grained control over the initial size, set *PN to a
    129    nonzero value before calling this function with P == NULL.  For
    130    example:
    131 
    132      int *p = NULL;
    133      size_t used = 0;
    134      size_t allocated = 0;
    135      size_t allocated1 = 1000;
    136 
    137      void
    138      append_int (int value)
    139        {
    140 	 if (used == allocated)
    141 	   {
    142 	     p = x2nrealloc (p, &allocated1, sizeof *p);
    143 	     allocated = allocated1;
    144 	   }
    145 	 p[used++] = value;
    146        }
