[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] cutils: Assert in-range base for string-to-integer conversions
Posted by Eric Blake 5 years, 4 months ago
POSIX states that the value of endptr is unspecified if strtol()
fails with EINVAL due to an invalid base argument.  Since none of
the callers to check_strtox_error() initialized endptr, we could
end up propagating uninitialized data back to a caller on error.
However, passing an out-of-range base is already a sign of poor
programming, so let's just assert that base is in range, at which
point check_strtox_error() can be tightened to assert that it is
receiving an initialized ep that points somewhere within the
caller's original string, regardless of whether strto*() succeeded
or failed with ERANGE.

Also tested that this does not negatively impact David's pending
additions of qemu_strtod{,_finite}().  Thus:

If you want to play with type, I think you can do:

   assert((unsigned)(base - 2) <= 34)

oops, no, '0' is a valid case. Forgive this...
