Declaration [src]
gboolean
g_ascii_string_to_signed (
const gchar* str,
guint base,
gint64 min,
gint64 max,
gint64* out_num,
GError** error
)
Description [src]
A convenience function for converting a string to a signed number.
This function assumes that str
contains only a number of the given
base
that is within inclusive bounds limited by min
and max
. If
this is true, then the converted number is stored in out_num
. An
empty string is not a valid input. A string with leading or
trailing whitespace is also an invalid input.
base
can be between 2 and 36 inclusive. Hexadecimal numbers must
not be prefixed with “0x” or “0X”. Such a problem does not exist
for octal numbers, since they were usually prefixed with a zero
which does not change the value of the parsed number.
Parsing failures result in an error with the G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR
domain. If the input is invalid, the error code will be
G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR_INVALID
. If the parsed number is out of
bounds - G_NUMBER_PARSER_ERROR_OUT_OF_BOUNDS
.
See g_ascii_strtoll()
if you have more complex needs such as
parsing a string which starts with a number, but then has other characters.
Available since: 2.54
Parameters
str
-
Type:
const gchar*
A string to convert.
The data is owned by the caller of the function. The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. base
-
Type:
guint
Base of a parsed number.
min
-
Type:
gint64
A lower bound (inclusive).
max
-
Type:
gint64
An upper bound (inclusive).
out_num
-
Type:
gint64*
A return location for a number.
The argument will be set by the function. The argument can be NULL
. error
-
Type:
GError **
The return location for a recoverable error.
The argument can be NULL
.If the return location is not NULL
, then you must initialize it to aNULL
GError*
.The argument will be left initialized to NULL
by the function if there are no errors.In case of error, the argument will be set to a newly allocated GError
; the caller will take ownership of the data, and be responsible for freeing it.
