Hi, I noticed that musl's strtol function allows a base of 1 by parsing strings of only zeros. With all other bases less than 0 or greater than 36, strtol fails and sets errno to EINVAL. Is this an oversight? Not that it especially *matters*, but my guess is that the behavior isn't POSIX conforming: - POSIX defines valid "subject sequences" for bases of 0 and 2-36. - "In other than the C or POSIX locale, additional locale-specific subject sequence forms may be accepted." In the C locale, musl is accepting a subject sequence of all zeroes, which POSIX doesn't define for a base of 1. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strtol.html e.g.: #include #include #include #include int main() { errno = 0; char *endptr = "unset"; long val = strtol(" 0001", &endptr, 1); printf("errno=[%s], val=%ld, endptr=[%s]\n", strerror(errno), val, endptr ? endptr : "(null)"); return 0; } $ gcc test.c && ./a.out errno=[Invalid argument], val=0, endptr=[unset] $ musl-gcc test.c && ./a.out errno=[No error information], val=0, endptr=[1] -Ryan
