I'm not sure I agree with Torbjorn. Nevertheless developers time is a far
more precious resource than a few cpu cycles or bytes of code size...
That's why I completely change my question, always about allocations.


I always used the MPZ_REALLOC macro, to enlarge (if needed) the memory
area available for an integer. This macro gives a (possibly new) pointer
with the requested size available... but it also copies the content.

Sometimes I know in advance that the content can be discarded. Is there a
standard way to ensure a given size without moving data?
