1/// Correct the size argument to alloc functions
2///
3//# This makes an effort to find cases where the argument to sizeof is wrong
4//# in memory allocation functions by checking the type of the allocated memory
5//# when it is a double pointer and ensuring the sizeof argument takes a pointer
6//# to the the memory being allocated. There are false positives in cases the
7//# sizeof argument is not used in constructing the return value. The result
8//# may need some reformatting.
