// This file contains utility functions for parsing numbers, in the context of
// network protocols.
//
// Q: Doesn't //base already provide these in string_number_conversions.h, with
//    functions like base::StringToInt()?
//
// A: Yes, and those functions are used under the hood by these implementations.
//
//    However using the base::StringTo*() has historically led to subtle bugs
//    in the context of parsing network protocols:
//
//      * Permitting a leading '+'
//      * Incorrectly classifying overflow/underflow from a parsing failure
//      * Allowing negative numbers for non-negative fields
//
//   This API tries to avoid these problems by picking sensible defaults for
//   //net code. For more details see crbug.com/596523.

// Format to use when parsing integers.

// The ParseInt*() functions parse a string representing a number.
//
// The format of the strings that are accepted is controlled by the |format|
// parameter. This allows rejecting negative numbers.
//
// These functions return true on success, and fill |*output| with the result.
//
// On failure, it is guaranteed that |*output| was not modified. If
// |optional_error| was non-null, then it is filled with the reason for the
// failure.
