Macros don't fly in the C++ standard library.
Put differently, it is a requirement that standard function from the C
library (except "assert") not be defined as macros.  

Furthermore, I do not believe the above is correct as the C standard
is concerned: strlen can be defined as *functional* macro but not as
an object macro.
