Parsing numbers is not rocket science, but there are a lot of pitfalls, especially around overflow. It's even harder to write such code via macros and the result is less readable. This patch series is mostly about finding a reasonable API and whipping the callers into shape. That seems ambitious enough for me. I'd rather stick with boring wrappers for now and lean on strtol()/strtoul() to do the dirty work. It will be easy for a motivated person to change the implementation later.
The OpenBSD developers invented strtonum for that. Are you aware of it? Would it fit? This discussion may be useful:
