/*
 * Direct use of smalloc within the code should be avoided where
 * possible, in favour of these type-casting macros which ensure
 * you don't mistakenly allocate enough space for one sort of
 * structure and assign it to a different sort of pointer.
 *
 * The nasty trick in sresize with sizeof arranges for the compiler,
 * in passing, to type-check the expression ((type *)0 == (ptr)), i.e.
 * to type-check that the input pointer is a pointer to the correct
 * type. The construction sizeof(stuff) ? (b) : (b) looks like a
 * violation of the first principle of safe macros, but in fact it's
 * OK - although it _expands_ the macro parameter more than once, it
 * only _evaluates_ it once, so it's still side-effect safe.
