Interest in C11 Annex K Bounds Checking Interfaces

Hi

C11 added the option of Bounds Checking versions of some common C Library
functions. There are a couple of permissive licensed implementations out
there. GIven that these are prototyped in normal header files, it would be
best if these could be incorporated somehow into newlib. At a minimum, the
prototypes for the new methods would need to be added with appropriate
conditionals. On the high end of the project, I would like to see
implementations of the functions in newlib.

We are hoping a student will tackle this for Google Summer of Code.

What are the newlib community's thoughts on this?

Thanks.
