        * mem-stats.h (mem_alloc_description::get_list): Fix GNU coding
        style.
        * vec.c: Likewise.

I have no preference here or even know what the style guide calls
for (nor have I been able to find it) but I've always assumed
the convention for declaring functions that return pointers (and
variables of pointer types) was

  T *func (...);

with a space after the type and before the name) as opposed to
either of:

  T* func (...);
or
  T * func (...);

The former also appears to be dominant style in GCC.

So I'm mostly just curious: is there a recommended or preferred
style or does it not matter?

Thanks
