Sorry I should make this better.

So I just need to move increment into the callee like this?

static void
add_rdm_entry(libxl__gc *gc, libxl_domain_config *d_config,
               uint64_t rdm_start, uint64_t rdm_size, int rdm_policy)
{
     d_config->num_rdms++;
     d_config->rdms = libxl__realloc(NOGC, d_config->rdms,
                             d_config->num_rdms * sizeof(libxl_device_rdm));

     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms - 1].start = rdm_start;
     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms - 1].size = rdm_size;
     d_config->rdms[d_config->num_rdms - 1].policy = rdm_policy;
}

I also replied there.
