Subject: [PATCH] libsubcmd: Fix use-after-free for realloc(..., 0)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

GCC 12 correctly reports a potential use-after-free condition in the
xrealloc helper. Fix the warning by avoiding an implicit "free(ptr)"
when size == 0:

In file included from help.c:12:
In function 'xrealloc',
inlined from 'add_cmdname' at help.c:24:2: subcmd-util.h:56:23: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
56 | ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer may be used after 'realloc' [-Werror=use-after-free]
58 | ret = realloc(ptr, 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to 'realloc' here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
