Michaël-san,
I have looked quickly at it, but I'm not sure that there is an agreement
about what should be done precisely, so the feedback is not clearly
actionable.
Per the latest trends, it seems that the input of Andres was kind of
the most interesting pieces.
Yes, definitely. I understood that we want in "string.h" something like
(just the spirit):
typedef enum {
STRTOINT_OK, STRTOINT_RANGE_ERROR, STRTOINT_SYNTAX_ERROR
} strtoint_status;
strtoint_status pg_strtoint64(const char * str, int64 * result);
However there is a contrary objective to have a unified interface,
but there also exists a:
extern uint64 pg_strtouint64(const char *str, char **endptr, int base);
called 3 times, always with base == 10. We have a similar name but a
totally different interface, so basically it would have to be replaced
by something like the first interface.
If you don't have room for it, I would not mind doing the legwork
myself.
I think that it would be quick if the what is clear enough, so I can do
it.
