Hello,
Hi,
A little fix fpr utils_strtod. It should use integer if it needs to test values lower than 0 (<= 0 incl.). A better fix would be to use
when gets i lower than 0? I think unsigned int is ok. When i is lower than 0, there must be a bigger problem than the integer underflow ;-). (correct me if I'm wrong)
It always crashes here. You cannot compare a value lower than 0 (>=0 may end to <0) if you use a unsigned integer. It may work in many cases and be evaluated as true in many other (like in some 64bits system + gcc).
I can give you another version which does not use any integer but decrement the pointer until it reaches the beginning of string, it is safe and platform independent.
