According to man 3 strtof, it seems there are some cases like:

1. strtof return the converted value as normal
2. strtof return 0 when no conversion is performed, and endptr == nptr:  'rval == 0'
3. strtof return HUGE_VAL or -HUGE_VAL when overflow:      '(rval == HUGE_VAL) || (rval == -HUGE_VAL)'
4. strtof retrun 0 and set errno to ERANGE when underflow:   'errno == ERANGE'


For 2, it seems need to add checking of endptr when 'rval == 0' like:  (rval == 0 && !strcmp(endptr, nptr)
	
Other places seem to be fine.

Gongyi

I usually look for information here: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/

Thanks! I have resubmit the patch as your suggestion.

The exception cases may be described as:

 1. strtof return 0 when no conversion is performed, and endptr == nptr:  'rval == 0 && !strcmp(endptr, nptr)'

 2. strtof return HUGE_VAL or -HUGE_VAL when overflow:      '((rval ==HUGE_VAL) || (rval == -HUGE_VAL)) && errno == ERANGE'

 3. strtof retrun 0 and set errno to ERANGE when underflow:   'errno ==ERANGE && rval == 0'


So it may be write as:
	If (( errno == ERANGE && (rval == HUGE_VAL || rval == -HUGE_VAL || rval == 0))
	   || (rval == 0 && !strcmp(endptr, nptr)))

If the description as above is ok, I will resubmit the patch.

Gongyi

Changes in v2:
1. Add range checking for SAFE_STRTOF as suggested by Cyril

Changes in v1:
1. Add SAFE_STRTOF
2. Replace atoi/atof with SAFE_STRTOL/SAFE_STRTOF to deal with abnormal
   input for parse_opts()

Zhao Gongyi (2):
  lib/safe_macros: Add SAFE_STRTOF
  lib: Replace atoi/atof with SAFE_STRTOL/SAFE_STRTOF
