This is a silly argument because at the end of the day, once you make your code portable, you've now duplicated 99% of malloc and free, and you've left a mess for the team or next guy to maintain on top of everything else. You've successfully lowered the abstraction floor which is already pretty low in C.
what?? The whole point is to create independence, then create "real-life" alternatives. I don't understand your point.
