| Summary | 0000716: Expand functionality of m_reallocate() to specify the desired allocated size. | ||||
| Description | m_reallocate() currently creates a new mapping with a potentially different width. It would be nice to specify the number of keys one expects (if one wants to add entries after m_reallocate()), just like with m_allocate(). Of course, the driver would honor the size request only if give_size > sizeof(orig_mapping). | ||||

It would be nice to have a similar interface as the other mapping efuns (e.g. m_allocate): first size, then width. Unfortunately, this is a completely uncompatible change. It will break code already using m_reallocate() (none in our lib so far). On the other hand, I think it will reduce confusion in the future. Please comment wether you think such a change might be acceptable in 3.5 or not. ;-) |

|
I got a few comments that people regard it as OK for 3.5. because the efun is not often used. I will then proceed with this. |
|
|
We have a handful of occurances of m_reallocate() in our complete mudlib. For me@Tub, such a change is not only acceptable for 3.5 but could be done also earlier. |

|
Because of ressources and this does not have a high priority, we close this for the time being. |
