# 1.28.0[−][src]Function alloc::alloc::realloc

    pub unsafe fn realloc(ptr: *mut u8, layout: Layout, new_size: usize) -> *mut u8

Reallocate memory with the global allocator.

This function forwards calls to the `GlobalAlloc::realloc` method of the allocator registered with the `#[global_allocator]` attribute if there is one, or the `std` crate’s default.

This function is expected to be deprecated in favor of the `realloc` method of the `Global` type when it and the `Alloc` trait become stable.

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g., `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g., `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
