Talk:Increment a numerical string

Parsing integers with bases

Is there an RC article for this? --User:Mcandre

Yes: Non-decimal radices/Input. The IRC channel would be a better place for questions like this (I saw that you had asked there before...I would have answered but my phone didn't have good reception and you left before I could). --Mwn3d 04:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

C int2str

I removed int2str in a recent revision because of "various bugs". For the record the issues I noticed are:

1. The integer input has to be greater than 0, otherwise the output is bogus.
2. The occasional use of a static char buffer inside this function is unnecessary and makes it non-threadsafe.
3. The result is written starting from the end of the buffer rather than the beginning (unlike sprintf and itoa).
4. The given buffer is assumed to be 32 chars.

There's a standard way to convert integers to strings so I don't think it's necessary to reinvent this wheel. A well-tested itoa implementation might still be interesting though. Rasalas 02:28, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
