今天介绍两个函数用以代替库函数atoi()、atol()和strtol()函数，原因是它能提供比库函数更好的错误检查机制。

int getInt(const char *arg, int flags, const char *name);

long getLong(const char *arg, int flags, const char *name);
  • arg指向待转的数字字符串，flags有固定的几个宏值，代表待转换数字字符串的进制情况，name指向待转字符的说明字符串，用于发生错误时添加到错误消息中。
  • flags可以用或的形式指定多个值，它们可以控制函数转换的进制、范围等。

flags可取以下值：GN_NONNEG、GN_GT_0 、GN_ANY_BASE、 GN_BASE_8、 GN_BASE_16

  • 其头文件命名为get_num.h: 
/* FUNC_NAME: get_num.h FUNC_DESC: Header file for get_num.c. */
#ifndef GET_NUM_H
#define GET_NUM_H

#define GN_NONNEG 01 /* Value must be >= 0 */
#define GN_GT_0 02 /* Value must be > 0 */

                                /* By default, integers are decimal */
#define GN_ANY_BASE 0100 /* Can use any base - like strtol(3) */
#define GN_BASE_8 0200 /* Value is expressed in octal */
#define GN_BASE_16 0400 /* Value is expressed in hexadecimal */

long getLong(const char *arg, int flags, const char *name);

int getInt(const char *arg, int flags, const char *name);

#endif
