From: Davidlohr Bueso <dave@gnu.org>
We can benefit from the alloc_size attribute in xrealloc and zalloc.
Quoting from http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html:
"The alloc_size attribute is used to tell the compiler that the function return value points to memory, where the size is given by one or two of the functions parameters. GCC uses this information to improve the correctness of __builtin_object_size."
