And xstrdup and xcalloc. No, I don't think there's a standard list. It depends on what the program needs. > Are these functions actually in any libraries > or would a programmer have to create a file for each program that > has each of these functions? I don't know of any library that has them and is used by multiple packages. The functions are so simple that I wouldn't want to make a program depend on a library just to get them. Besides, different programs may have different requirements on what to do when out of memory. Why do you ask this? > Which list would a question like this go on? It sure isn't Hurd-specific. Much GNU code uses these functions so a GNU programming list might be a good bet, but <http://www.gnu.org/prep/mailinglists.html> mentions no such list. Perhaps a generic programming newsgroup, then.
