I think any solution that involves adding more duplication at each strtol() callsite is not great ("Don't Repeat Yourself"). I'd still like to see this refactored into a separate function, as I suggested on -patches. If people would like to see a detailed explanation of the interaction between strtol() and errno, a header comment to pg_strtol() seems a good place to put it. IMO that is better than copying and pasting a cryptic one-line comment to each and every callsite of strtol(). -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
