Subject: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] cutils: Assert in-range base for
 string-to-integer conversions
Precedence: list

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:
