d326d03bcdf0751049ec0bfbe246a2e828008a13 test-cutils: Test integral qemu_strto* value on failures
We are inconsistent on the contents of *value after a strto* parse
failure. I found the following behaviors:
- parse_uint() and parse_uint_full(), which document that *value is
slammed to 0 on all EINVAL failures and 0 or UINT_MAX on ERANGE
failures, and has unit tests for that (note that parse_uint requires
non-NULL endptr, and does not fail with EINVAL for trailing junk)
- qemu_strtosz(), which leaves *value untouched on all failures (both
EINVAL and ERANGE), and has unit tests but not documentation for
that
- qemu_strtoi() and other integral friends, which document *value on
ERANGE failures but is unspecified on EINVAL (other than implicitly
by comparison to libc strto*); there, *value is untouched for NULL
string, slammed to 0 on no conversion, and left at the prefix value
on NULL endptr; unit tests do not consistently check the value
- qemu_strtod(), which documents *value on ERANGE failures but is
unspecified on EINVAL; there, *value is untouched for NULL string,
slammed to 0.0 for no conversion, and left at the prefix value on
NULL endptr; there are no unit tests (other than indirectly through
qemu_strtosz)
- qemu_strtod_finite(), which documents *value on ERANGE failures but
is unspecified on EINVAL; there, *value is left at the prefix for
'inf' or 'nan' and untouched in all other cases; there are no unit
tests (other than indirectly through qemu_strtosz)
Upcoming patches will change behaviors for consistency, but it's best
to first have more unit test coverage to see the impact of those
changes.
