+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]
