Microsoft C _msize

[Steven J. Husting]

Microsoft C 5.1 includes a function _msize which "returns the size, in bytes,
of the memory block allocated by a call to calloc, malloc, or realloc." My
experience with this function is that it is unreliable. However, I don't like
to accuse compiler vendors of errors before cleaning my own house, so does
anyone have any information this function? If this has been hashed over
before, would somebody please send me the conclusions? If it is indeed
unreliable, does anyone have a replacement? Respond via email, please.
