+       * lib/xalloc.h (xnmalloc, xzalloc, xnrealloc, xclone): New decls.
+       (XMALLOC, XCALLOC, XREALLOC, XFREE, CCLONE, CLONE): Deprecate,
+       and define in terms of the other primitives.
+       * lib/xmalloc.c: Include stdbool.h; do not include exit.h.
+       (SIZE_MAX): Define if not already defined.
+       (array_size_overflow): New function.
+       (xalloc_die): Abort instead of exiting if 'error' returns.
+       (xnmalloc, xnrealloc, xzalloc, xclone): New functions.
+       (xmalloc, xrealloc): Use them.
+       (xcalloc): Check for address arithmetic overflow.
+       * lib/xstrdup.c (xstrdup): Use xclone, since memcpy should be
+       a bit faster than strcpy.
