Use attribute 'warn_unused_result'
Hi Salvatore.
Thanks for releasing this. You should consider using the GCC (and compatible) attribute "warn_unused_result" on the functions that may call realloc().

It's not a perfect backstop, but it can be very helpful in calling attention to usage that would otherwise be a very subtle error.
