This does not differentiate between an invalid value and a valid "-1" supplied. Replacing all instances of atoi() with strtol_i() will likely cause breakages as the error semantics are different between the two. atoi() and strtol_i() have totally different function signatures, so it won't be a straight replacement. The report of "-1" you mention is only about strtol_i() reporting "have we successfully read out a number [yes/no]?". The value we parsed goes to a separate location, so there is no risk of confusion as long as the caller knows what it is doing. Thanks.
