Hello

There is an implementation of some of these functions callable by C code in base/src/base/cxx/misc.cc which becomes part of cxx.lib.a, but I don’t see a C header file which exports the interfaces. Depending on the target setup the compiler either takes the header file(s) from itself (system) or from Genode’s libc, but the implementation is taken from the cxx library (since it appears in the LIBS list of all targets). I’d prefer to have header files which are created from the sources they are referring to instead of taking them from elsewhere (although I admit that prototypes of memcpy() or printf() should be the same on most systems).
