Here:

https://github.com/couchbaselabs/fleece/blob/60bfb99bfed50329a2a8c3a3fb0cacea074ea799/Fleece/Tree/MutableNode.hh#L332

operator new/delete defined as:

 static void* operator new(size_t size, unsigned capacity) {
            return ::operator new(size + capacity*sizeof(NodeRef));
        }

but then

 MutableInterior* grow() {
            assert_precondition(capacity() < kMaxChildren);
            auto replacement = (MutableInterior*)realloc(this,

should be malloc/free used instead of ::operator new in the first place,
to make it possible to use realloc here?

Yes, they should. I've seen the UB Sanitizer point this out, but it's never seemed high priority enough to fix at the moment. Patch welcome! :)

[In any case, the tree code is experimental, and isn't used in Couchbase Lite. I.e. it gets dead-stripped.]
