    Keep track of the size yourself.

    You keep hold of the variable you used to call malloc with in the first place.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
