/**
* Add an element to a dynamic array.
*
* @param tab_ptr Pointer to the array.
* @param nb_ptr Pointer to the number of elements in the array.
* @param elem Element to be added.
* The array to grow is supposed to be an array of pointers to
* structures, and the element to add must be a pointer to an already
* allocated structure.
*
* The array is reallocated when its sizes reaches powers of 2.
* Therefore, the amortized cost of adding an element is constant.
*
* In case of success, the pointer to the array is updated in order to
* point to the new grown array, and the number pointed to by nb_ptr
* is incremented.
*
* @param tab_ptr pointer to the array to grow
* @param nb_ptr pointer to the number of elements in the array
* @param elem element to add
