Subject: [RFC iproute2] tos: interpret ToS in natural numeral system
Date: Wed, 16 Feb 2022 11:42:05 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220216194205.3780848-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)

Silently forcing a base numeral system is very painful for users.
ip currently interprets tos 10 as 0x10. Imagine user's bash script
does:

  .. tos $((TOS * 2)) ..

or any numerical operation on the ToS.

This patch breaks existing scripts if they expect 10 to be 0x10.

I get the feeling this was discussed in the past.

Also there's more:

devlink/devlink.c:	val = strtoull(str, &endptr, 10);
devlink/devlink.c:	val = strtoul(str, &endptr, 10);
devlink/devlink.c:	val = strtoul(str, &endptr, 10);
devlink/devlink.c:	val = strtoul(str, &endptr, 10);
lib/utils.c:	res = strtoul(arg, &ptr, base);
lib/utils.c:		n = strtoul(cp, &endp, 16);
lib/utils.c:		tmp = strtoul(tmpstr, &endptr, 16);
lib/utils.c:		tmp = strtoul(arg + i * 3, &endptr, 16);
misc/lnstat_util.c:			unsigned long f = strtoul(ptr, &ptr, 16);
tc/f_u32.c:	htid = strtoul(str, &tmp, 16);
tc/f_u32.c:		hash = strtoul(str, &tmp, 16);
tc/f_u32.c:			nodeid = strtoul(str, &tmp, 16);
tc/tc_util.c:	maj = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
tc/tc_util.c:	maj = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
tc/tc_util.c:		min = strtoul(str, &p, 16);
