Thanks, that patch makes sense, but it misses three opportunities to 
bring consistency. regcomp.c has one call each to malloc and free, which 
should be consistent too. Also, regexec.c has a call to realloc that 
should be be changed to re_realloc. A minor formatting issue: one 
newly-introduced re_malloc call doesn't need to appear on the next line.

(Possibly we should be adding consistency in the opposite way, by 
removing the macros re_free, re_malloc, and re_realloc, and simply using 
the underlying C functions. These macros are tricky since they are 
function-like but (aside from re_free) cannot be implemented as 
functions, and they don't buy much. But that'd be a bigger change.)

I installed the attached patch into Gnulib; it contains the originally 
proposed patch 06/17 along with the abovementioned fixups. Something 
like this should be easily installable into glibc.

Thanks, I have merged this in to gawk's version.

Paul --- I think that  you have permission to push the patches you approve
to glibc. Please do so.

Thanks,

Arnold

Subject: [PATCH] regex: use re_malloc etc. consistently

Problem and original patch reported by Arnold Robbins in:
https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-12/msg00241.html
* lib/regcomp.c (re_comp):
* lib/regexec.c (push_fail_stack, build_trtable, match_ctx_clean):
Use re_malloc/re_realloc/re_free instead of malloc/realloc/free.
