The more relevant question to ask from my point of view is why you need to "add" NUM_PLUS to "enable" it. What valid reason do you have to forbid it anywhere? Only because you do not accept it by default, you need to "add" to "enable". >> Why is it a problem to allow "git cmd --hexval=0x1234", even if "git >> cmd --hexval=1234" would suffice? > > In some cases we would like to allow that flexibility; in some cases > not. But the strtol()/strtoul() functions *always* allow it. The same issue. Whare are these "some cases"? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
