c - 如何优化 malloc() 或动态填充未知大小的内存？

Question

我只是在玩 C 语言，我想要一个函数来生成斐波那契数列直到可变的最大项，并作为指向数组的指针返回。下面的代码工作得很好。

但我的问题实际上是它是否可以优化？我正在生成相同的斐波那契数列两次；首先找到有多少 fibterms 直到 maxterm 并分配足够的内存来容纳所有的术语，然后第二次用我的术语填充那个内存现在发现了两次。

我是不是忽略了 malloc() 的一些更关键的东西，或者有没有办法将这两个循环结合起来？我可以不断地调用 malloc 并将旧的 fib 复制到新的吗？反复调用新内存有那么糟糕吗？

int* genFib(int maxterm) 
{   
    // generate a way for x to be the fibonacci term
    // with y being the previous term
    int x = 1, y = 1;

    // fibterms is a global variable that counts the
    // number of terms, to create the right size array.
    // it needed to be global to find the size elsewhere
    do
    {
        int temp = x;
        x += y;
        y = temp;
        fibterms++;
    }
    while (x < maxterm);

    // the array has enough space allocated now, but
    // is empty for the moment.
    int* fib = malloc(sizeof(int) * fibterms);   

    // i need to now redo my previous loop just to
    // fill the array with the correct terms, so all
    // counters and terms are reset.
    x = 1, y = 1;
    fibterms = 0;

    // same loop as above, but 
    // filling the array this time
    do
    {
        fib[fibterms] = x;
        int temp = x;
        x += y;
        y = temp;
        fibterms++;
    }
    while (x < maxterm);
    return fib;
}

int* fib = malloc(sizeof(int));   
    x = 1, y = 1;
    fibterms = 0;

    // same loop as above, but 
    // filling the array this time
    do
    {
        fib[fibterms] = x;
        int temp = x;
        x += y;
        y = temp;
        fibterms++;
        fib = (int *)realloc(fib , sizeof(int)*(fibterms+1));//fibterms is a int from 0
    }
