They are "definitely interested in incorporating the change". They are also going to "coordinate [with the OS group] to perform thorough testing to understand the impact of the change". This may take some time, and will come back to me with the feedback of that. The communication with them is quite fluent, BTW. I think this is great news for fixing and unifying realloc(3). Also, it's also great to see a big company like Microsoft will put their resources into testing this, as they have resources that we voluntary maintainers of open source projects don't have (or would have to take =66rom some other changes). Robert, I'd like to withdraw the paper from the next meeting. I'll write a new paper once Microsoft tells me their testing results and feedback, incorporating them. Have a lovely night!
