It works better than grep. Everything is probably better than grep in this case. I actually used weggli to find those malloc/memset uses. I was actually thinking if something about the calloc implementation could bite us if we just change all malloc/memset occurances to calloc.

If you have a tool for it combined with a review, should be pretty
straight forward.

You likely can use coccinelle to find these. It works better than grep.

Everything is probably better than grep in this case. I actually used weggli to find those malloc/memset uses.
