C, realloc that fails if the allocation cannot grow IN PLACE

Question

Is there a way to grow an array in C, but only if the memory can be grown in place (That is, fail to grow if the pointer needs to be changed)?

There is no standard way, though OS-specific functions to do/emulate something like that might exist or you could use memory pool and implement it yourself. — user2802841, Feb 07 '14 at 15:08

In standard C there is no function capable of doing that.
