Re: Are there some potential problems if I use a self-defined memory acquirement function instead of realloc(3) in the l_alloc function?

It doesn't matter what you think. What matters is what the language
standards say, and what they say is that realloc() is permitted to fail
when shrinking a block. (Some realloc implementations never fail in that
case, but many in common use do.)
