[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v6 0/4] Introduce strtosz and make use of it

[Jes . Sorensen]

From: Jes Sorensen <address@hidden>

This patch introduces cutils.c: strtosz() and gets rid of the
multiple custom hacks for parsing byte sizes. In addition it adds
supports for specifying human style sizes such as 1.5G. Last it
eliminates the horrible abuse of a float to store the byte size for
migrate_set_speed in the monitor.

New in v6 I rewrote part of the parsing code as suggested by Markus
and Paolo. The new version relies on strtod to do the actual parsing,
eliminating corner cases not caught by the strspn pass. In addition is
should catch incorrect suffixes that are longer than one character,
and uses isspace() instead of just checking for ' '. Last, a B/b
suffix has been added for 'bytes'.

Jes Sorensen (4):
  Introduce strtosz() library function to convert a string to a byte
    count.
  Add support for 'o' octet (bytes) format as monitor parameter.
  Switch migrate_set_speed() to take an 'o' argument rather than a
    float.
  Remove obsolete 'f' double parameter type
