Re: [Nano-devel] fixing the tickle (was: Smooth Horizontal Scroll patch)

Benno,

The line that I initially noticed was from text.c.
data = (char *) nrealloc((void *) u->strdata, len * sizeof(char *));

There is a macro named charealloc that is usually used for this situation.
#define charealloc(ptr, howmuch) (char *)nrealloc(ptr, (howmuch) * sizeof(char))

Not really a problem, there is just more memory being allocated than needed.
I think there is only one more case similar to the above, it's in do_lockfile()

Otherwise, it does look like sizeof(char*) applies.  I usually create
a #define for this situation to clarify that it's not a mistake.

#define SIZEOF_PTR sizeof(void*)
