It looks like this is something that should be fixed, just because
calling strtoul without checking isdigit allows invalid formats to be
accepted (strtoul consumes leading whitespace and signs, both of which
are unwatned). Probably we want:
- width = strtoul(f, &p, 10);
+ width = isdigit(*f) ? strtoul(f, &p, 10) : 0;
Thoughts?
