But you'll probably agree that in 99.99 % of all cases, strtol() is used using a fixed, developer-given value for base. ;-) Btw., first checking for a valid conversion (using endptr), and then checking errno would still work fine in that case, as after the conversion was identified to be valid, the only source for errno == EINVAL remaining is a wrong value for `base'. So there's still no need to explicitly consider EINVAL in any other context... But I guess we are really starting to bore anyone else, so if you still disagree with the above, let's take that privately, poshalujsta. -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
