OT: new vs malloc, was BUG - Cygwin to GNU CC compatibility

[Chan Kar Heng]

greetings.

sorry, please don't fry me for OT post. :)
just a short answer (perhaps private) would do for me.

i'm one of those still actively using malloc/free as i often use realloc
too.

i'd gladly use new and delete if i could find an equivalent of realloc()..
... any advice?

rgds,
