2014-01-08const'ify our strtod() helper functionsGravatar Linus Torvalds
The C library doesn't use const char pointers for legacy reasons (and because you *can* modify the string the end pointer points to), but let's do it in our internal implementation just because it's a nice guarantee to have. We actually used to have a non-const end pointer and replace a decimal comma with a decimal dot, but that was because we didn't have the fancy "allow commas" flags. So by using our own strtod_flags() function, we can now keep all the strings we parse read-only rather than modify them as we parse them.

2014-01-02Make our 'ascii_strtod()' helper more genericGravatar Linus Torvalds
We'll want to do sane parsing of strings, but the C library makes it hard to handle user input sanely and the Qt toDouble() function interface was designed by a retarded chipmunk. So just extend our existing hacky "ascii_strtod()" to allow a more generic interface. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>
