I don't see the point of the discussion, that piece of code (or relatively equivalent), is already being performed by a libC function (calloc, in this case), how is that less convenient than you writing it yourself?
It has nothing to do with how smart you are or how low level C is, you are effectively reinventing that part of calloc by wrapping malloc.
