recalloc is wrong in windows/override_functions.cc #682

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
According to http://en.cppreference.com/w/c/memory/realloc (and many other 
manuals), realloc is not supposed to zero all allocated memory, only the newly 
allocated memory.

You can see the zeroing of memory here:
https://code.google.com/p/gperftools/source/browse/src/windows/override_function
s.cc#57
which only exists in the override implementation on Windows

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
GPerfTools 2.4

This is actually recalloc not realloc. But it is wrong indeed.

Thanks for reporting it. If you can submit a patch for that issue that would be 
great too :)
