There are none in ISO C. The closest standard function is tmpfile(). It 
supports output and seeking but does not automatically expose the result in 
memory upon fflush() and fclose().

Though I don´t know it would matter. AFAICT, where open_memstream() is 
missing, either funopen/fopencookie are present (Mac/Android), or we own/
control the C run-time library (Windows), or we don´t use "native" FILE 
pointers at all?
