Also, some C string manipulations tend to act differently depending on platform, or even the user locale. -- Use `ParseInt32`, `ParseInt64`, `ParseUInt32`, `ParseUInt64`, `ParseDouble` from `utilstrencodings.h` for number parsing. +- Use `ToIntegral` from [`strencodings.h`](/src/util/strencodings.h) for number parsing. In legacy code you might also find `ParseInt*` family of functions, `ParseDouble` or `LocaleIndependentAtoi`. - *Rationale*: These functions do overflow checking and avoid pesky locale issues. - Avoid using locale dependent functions if possible. You can use the provided - [`lint-locale-dependence.sh`](/test/lint/lint-locale-dependence.sh) + [`lint-locale-dependence.py`](/test/lint/lint-locale-dependence.py) to check for accidental use of locale dependent functions. - *Rationale*: Unnecessary locale dependence can cause bugs that are very tricky to isolate and fix.
