[PATCH] fast-import.c: stricter strtoul check, silence compiler warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Store the return value of strtoul() in order to avoid compiler
warnings on Ubuntu 8.10.

Also check errno after each call, which is the only way to notice
an overflow without making ULONG_MAX an illegal date.

I don't really like the first part, as we're ignoring the return
value anyway, even if we store it in the variable "date", so this
is quite useless.  But better to have a bit more useless code
than to see these equally useless warnings on every build.
Turning them off completely is not a good idea, since some of
them resulted in useful fixes (see 47d32af2, 304dcf26, 7be77de2).
