[lwip-devel] [bug #27105] realloc() cannot replace mem_realloc()

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #27105 (project lwip):

That would be the proper solution, of course. But it would at least require a
check that the pbuf's ref-count is 1 or other references will become invalid.
And yes, a change like that shouldn't go into 1.3.1.

However, just leaving the pointer as it is (by #define mem_realloc(x,y) (x))
should do no harm at all, besides consuming too much memory.
