Expand description

Extend a string buffer by reallocating and copying the existing data.

This function is used to grow a string buffer when more space is needed.

§Safety

  • This function is unsafe because it directly calls the system’s realloc and memset functions, which can lead to undefined behaviour if misused.
  • The caller must ensure that start, pointer, and end are valid pointers into the same allocated memory block.
  • The caller must ensure that the memory block being extended is large enough to accommodate the new size.
  • The caller is responsible for properly freeing the extended memory block using the corresponding yaml_free function when it is no longer needed.
