Description Koroskin Denis 2009-04-07 18:26:05 UTC 
Starting from DMD2.027 (now that std.c.stdlib plain imports core.stdc.stdlib), a few of useful functions got lost. Namely itoa and ultoa. There might be other functions missing, too, I didn't investigate into it very well.
Comment 1 Andrei Alexandrescu 2010-09-26 14:45:14 UTC 
I'm weary of adding non-standard functions to the plain stdc.stdlib, so I'm closing this.
Comment 2 bearophile_hugs 2010-09-26 15:05:35 UTC 
I appreciate the 'spring cleaning' you are doing now, but some non-standard functions are useful and I'd like to keep them, like alloca() and the GNU (Linux) *_unlocked() functions like fgets_unlocked(). Thank you.
