tidy - bugprone-unchecked-string-to-number-conversion — Extra Clang Tools 22.0.0git documentation (original) (raw)

This check flags calls to string-to-number conversion functions that do not verify the validity of the conversion, such as atoi() or scanf(). It does not flag calls to strtol(), or other, related conversion functions that do perform better error checking.

#include <stdlib.h>

void func(const char *buff) { int si;

if (buff) { si = atoi(buff); /* 'atoi' used to convert a string to an integer, but function will not report conversion errors; consider using 'strtol' instead. / } else { / Handle error */ } }
