They don't have to write it in standard, portable C.  Standard libraries 
will, sometimes, use "magic" - they can be in assembly, or use compiler 
extensions, or target-specific features, or "-fsecret-flag-for-std-lib" 
compiler flags, or implementation-dependent features, or whatever they want.

You will find that most implementations of memmove() are done by 
converting the pointers to a unsigned integer type and comparing those 
values.  The type chosen may be implementation-dependent, or it may be 
"uintptr_t" (even if you are using C90 for your code, the library 
writers can use C99 for theirs).

Such implementations will not be portable to all systems.  They won't 
work on a target that has some kind of "fat" pointers or segmented 
pointers that can't be translated properly to integers.

That's okay, of course.  For targets that have such complications, that 
standard library function will be written in a different way.

The avrlibc library used by gcc for the AVR has its memmove() 
implemented in assembly for speed, as does musl for some architectures.

There are lots of parts of the standard C library that cannot be written 
completely in portable standard C.  (How would you write a function that 
handles files?  You need non-portable OS calls.)  That's why these 
things are in the standard library in the first place.

I agree with everything you say up until the last sentence.  There are 
several languages, mostly older ones like Fortran and COBOL, where the 
file handling/I/O are defined portably within the language proper, not 
in a separate library.  It just moves the non-portable stuff from the 
library writer (as in C) to the compiler writer (as in Fortran, COBOL, etc.)

The C standard library provides functions like fopen(), fclose(), 
fwrite(), etc.  It provides them because programs often need such 
functionality, and you cannot write them yourself in portable standard 
C.  (As Stephen pointed out, C could have had them built into the 
language - for many good reasons, C did not go that route.)

The functions you list here are the POSIX names - not the C standard 
library names.  Those POSIX functions cannot be implemented in portable 
standard C either if you exclude making wrappers around the standard 
library functions.

In both cases - implementing the standard library functions or 
implementing the POSIX functions - you need something beyond standard C, 
such as a way to call OS API's.

I meant that this is why these features have to be provided, rather than 
left for the user to implement themselves.  They could also have been 
provided in the language itself (as was done in many other languages) - 
the point is that you cannot write the file access functions in pure 
standard C.

What I think you mean is that I/O and file handling are defined as
part of the language rather than being written in the language.
Assuming that's true, what you're saying is not at odds with what
David said.  I/O and so forth cannot be written in unaugmented
standard C without changing the language.  Given the language as
it is, these things must be put in the standard library, because
they cannot be provided in the existing language.

There is an advantage to the C approach of separating out some
facilities and supplying them only in the standard library.  In
particular, it makes for a very clean distinction between two
kinds of implementation, what the C standard calls a freestanding
implementation (which excludes most of the library) and a hosted
implementation (which includes the whole library).  This facility
is what allows C to run easily on very small processors, because
there is no overhead for non-essential language features.  That is
not to say such things couldn't be arranged for Fortran or COBOL,
but it would be harder, because those languages are not designed
to be separable.

It goes a bit further: for a general purpose language, any existing
functionality that cannot be written using the language is a sign of
a weakness because it shows that despite being "general purpose" it
fails to cover this specific "purpose".

In an ideal world, it would be better if we could define `malloc` and
`memmove` efficiently in standard C, but at least they can be
implemented in non-standard C.

One of the key ways C got into the minds of programmers was that
one could write stuff like printf() in C and NOT needd to have it
entirely built-into the language.

It still is part of the ISO C standard.

POSIX adds some extensions (marked 'CX').

It's easy enough to write malloc() in standard C if your flavor of the
standard includes a way to ask the operating system for heap space.
Back in the old days it was sbrk().  Now it's mmap(MAP_ANON).

But I would be quite surprised if either of those ever made it into
any version of standard C.

sbrk() was in the std. library on PDP-11/70 that I used 1982.

It was in the library on the PDP-11/45 I used in 1976, too, but
the C library was whatever was in the C library, a mix of Unix
system calls and other stuff.  The first C standard wasn't
published until 1985.

In 1976 I also wrote C code that ran on an 11/05 that controlled some
early bitmap terminals. It didn't have sbrk() becasue there wasn't an
operating system underneath.

I may be mistaken, but my recollection is that '89 ANSI corresponded

The book by Kernighan and Ritchie, The C Programming Language, was
first published in 1978;  the second edition was published in 1988.

The book by Kernighan and Plauger, Elements of Programming Style,
was first published in 1974, with a second edition published in 1978.

The second edition of K&R was written during the time that the C
standardization effort (started roughly 1982) was taking place.  The
intent of K&R 2 was to reflect the language specification of the
anticipated ANSI C standard.  My understanding is that K&R 2, because
it was finished a year or two before the ANSI C standard was finished,
has some minor differences with respect to C89.  (I have not made any
effort to see whether that is so;  I am simply passing along second
hand information.)

Your information is better than mine 8-)
Thanks.

Note that these are in no way universal.  They might be common on some 
systems, but there are vast numbers of C implementations that are not 
used on POSIX or *nix type systems.

And while it is, I think, /possible/ to write a malloc() in pure 
portable standard C (plus something like sbrk), it is never done.  There 
are always advantages in using implementation-specific features for 
picking good sizes and alignments, handling locks for threading safety, 
using different algorithms with different balances between speed and 
compactness, and so on.

Indeed.
