There are lots of duplicate parsing code using strto*() in QEMU, and
most of that code is broken in one way or another. Even the visitors
code have duplicate integer parsing code[1]. This introduces functions
to help parsing unsigned int values: parse_uint() and parse_uint_full().
Parsing functions for signed ints and floats will be submitted later.
parse_uint_full() has all the checks made by opts_type_uint64() at
opts-visitor.c:
- Check for NULL (returns -EINVAL)
- Check for negative numbers (returns -EINVAL)
- Check for empty string (returns -EINVAL)
- Check for overflow or other errno values set by strtoll() (returns
-errno)
- Check for end of string (reject invalid characters after number)
(returns -EINVAL)
parse_uint() does everything above except checking for the end of the
string, so callers can continue parsing the remainder of string after
the number.
Unit tests included.
[1] string-input-visitor.c:parse_int() could use the same parsing code
used by opts-visitor.c:opts_type_int(), instead of duplicating that
logic.
