malloc vs realloc

Why when using realloc, john is reversed 3 times but not the other 2 names ? But if I use malloc, then the 3 names are reversed correctly ? (but then there is a memory leak) How can I reverse all 3 names without a memory leak ? char *BUFFER = NULL; char *STRREVERSE(const char *STRING) {...

explain_realloc_or_die(3)				     Library Functions Manual					 explain_realloc_or_die(3)

NAME

       explain_realloc_or_die - Allocate and free dynamic memory and report errors

SYNOPSIS

       #include <libexplain/realloc.h>
       void explain_realloc_or_die(void *ptr, size_t size);

DESCRIPTION

       The  explain_realloc_or_die  function  is  used	to  call the realloc(3) system call.  On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr,
       obtained from explain_realloc(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE).

       This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example:
	      void *new_ptr = explain_realloc_or_die(ptr, size);

       ptr     The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

       size    The size, exactly as to be passed to the realloc(3) system call.

       Returns:
	       This function only returns on success.  On failure, prints an explanation and exits.

SEE ALSO

       realloc(3)

	       explain realloc(3) errors

       exit(2) terminate the calling process
