At least, I hope there's consensus that while current GCC doesn't warn about this, ideally it should, which means it should warn for valid uses of strtol(3), which means strtol(3) should be fixed, in all of ISO, POSIX, and glibc.I'm not convinced. It doesn't look like anybody else is convinced. I wouldn't call that consensus.
And what's more this prototype is defined by the C standard. If you have a beef with that, then you should take it up with the committee; I can't see GCC wanting to be different on this. R.
