If you just called the function _recalloc, would you need to hide it?  I
was going to as if you really have customers who want no extraneous
identifiers (even reserved ones) defined during a compilation but
obviously, since you define at least one (ANSIC itself), you can't
have.  If they have live with ANSIC being defined, how could they mind
about _realloc?

That's not possible because ANSIC is not a reserved identifier.
