Just an exercise:

char* Buffer = (char*)malloc( 1000 );

Let's assume it worked well and we have 1000 bytes in Buffer.

char* ReallocatedBuffer = (char*)realloc(Buffer, 2000);

Let's pretend it failed. ReallocatedBuffer = NULL by definition, I suppose.
Buffer. What is inside of it now?
Is it still pointer to 1000 bytes buffer as it was before?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!
