Re: Proposed addition of malloc_size_np()

I wonder if the intuitive objection people are raising is actually with the name. Since malloc_size() is defined on at least one platform to return the requested size, maybe a name like malloc_allocated_size() (or something a bit more compact) would help avoid that confusion, and make it clear that the consumer is getting back a commitment and not a hint for future realloc(), etc.

Maybe you're right. We could just call it malloc_usable_size() and be compatible with Linux.
