-/// Realloc is used to modify the size or alignment of an existing allocation,

-/// to a better location.
-/// When the size/alignment is greater than the previous allocation, this function
-/// returns `error.OutOfMemory` when the requested new allocation could not be granted.
-/// When the size/alignment is less than or equal to the previous allocation,
-/// this function returns `error.OutOfMemory` when the allocator decides the client
-/// would be better off keeping the extra alignment/size. Clients will call
-/// `vtable.resize` when they require the allocator to track a new alignment/size,
-/// and so this function should only return success when the allocator considers
-/// the reallocation desirable from the allocator's perspective.
-/// As an example, `std.ArrayList` tracks a "capacity", and therefore can handle
-/// reallocation failure, even when `new_n` <= `old_mem.len`. A `FixedBufferAllocator`
-/// would always return `error.OutOfMemory` for `reallocFn` when the size/alignment
-/// is less than or equal to the old allocation, because it cannot reclaim the memory,
-/// and thus the `std.ArrayList` would be better off retaining its capacity.
-/// When `reallocFn` returns,
-/// `return_value[0..min(old_mem.len, new_byte_count)]` must be the same
