don't provide strtoll etc is that we don't need the flexibility and
are too lazy to implement the general case :) But that does not
warrant a comment in the code.
git-svn-id: svn://svn.valgrind.org/valgrind/trunk@14540
// is set to the start of the string. None of them test that the number
// fits into 64 bits.
//
-// Nb: if you're wondering why we don't just have a single VG_(strtoll) which
-// takes a base, it's because I wanted it to assert if it was given a bogus
-// base (the standard glibc one sets 'errno' in this case). But
-// m_libcbase.c doesn't import any code, not even vg_assert. --njn
-//
// Nb: we also don't provide VG_(atoll*); these functions are worse than
// useless because they don't do any error checking and so accept malformed
// numbers and non-numbers -- eg. "123xyz" gives 123, and "foo" gives 0!
