From: Pablo Sabater Date: Thu, 25 Jun 2026 12:13:24 GMT Subject: [PATCH GSoC v14 02/13] git-compat-util: add strtoul_szt() with error handling Message-ID: <20260625-ps-eric-work-rebase-v14-2-09f7ffe21a53@gmail.com> In-Reply-To: <20260625-ps-eric-work-rebase-v14-0-09f7ffe21a53@gmail.com> From: Eric Ju We already have strtoul_ui() and similar functions that provide proper error handling using strtoul from the standard library. However, there isn't currently a variant that returns an unsigned long. This variant is needed in a subsequent commit to enable returning an size_t with proper error handling.
