Yes. The 7.4 version had some naming problems.

Yes, they are. Just have a look at compatlib. They essantially only call
the above mentioned functions:

int
rsetnull(int t, char *ptr)
{
        ECPGset_noind_null(t, ptr);
        return 0;
}

int
risnull(int t, char *ptr)
{
        return (ECPGis_noind_null(t, ptr));
}

Hope this helps.
