scratch_buffer: don’t use private glibc API
Suggested by Florian Weimer in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2017-09/msg00004.html * lib/scratch_buffer.h: Rename to lib/malloc/scratch_buffer.h. * lib/scratch_buffer_grow.c: Rename to lib/malloc/scratch_buffer_grow.c. * lib/scratch_buffer_grow_preserve.c: Rename to lib/malloc/scratch_buffer_grow_preserve.c. * lib/scratch_buffer_set_array_size.c: Rename to lib/malloc/scratch_buffer_set_array_size.c. * lib/scratch_buffer.h: New file. * modules/scratch_buffer (Files, Makefile.am): Adjust to source-file renaming.

+/* Scratch buffers with a default stack allocation and fallback to
+ heap allocation. It is expected that this function is used in this
+ way:
+
+ struct scratch_buffer tmpbuf;
+ scratch_buffer_init (&tmpbuf);
+
+ while (!function_that_uses_buffer (tmpbuf.data, tmpbuf.length))
+ if (!scratch_buffer_grow (&tmpbuf))
+ return -1;
+
+ scratch_buffer_free (&tmpbuf);
+ return 0;
+
+ The allocation functions (scratch_buffer_grow,
+ scratch_buffer_grow_preserve, scratch_buffer_set_array_size) make
+ sure that the heap allocation, if any, is freed, so that the code
+ above does not have a memory leak. The buffer still remains in a
+ state that can be deallocated using scratch_buffer_free, so a loop
+ like this is valid as well:
+
+ struct scratch_buffer tmpbuf;
+ scratch_buffer_init (&tmpbuf);
+
+ while (!function_that_uses_buffer (tmpbuf.data, tmpbuf.length))
+ if (!scratch_buffer_grow (&tmpbuf))
+ break;
+
+ scratch_buffer_free (&tmpbuf);
+
+ scratch_buffer_grow and scratch_buffer_grow_preserve are guaranteed
+ to grow the buffer by at least 512 bytes. This means that when
+ using the scratch buffer as a backing store for a non-character
+ array whose element size, in bytes, is 512 or smaller, the scratch
+ buffer only has to grow once to make room for at least one more
+ element.
