[PATCH v2 1/3] vsscanf(): Integer overflow is a conversion failure

From: Demi Marie Obenour
Date: Sat Jun 10 2023 - 13:08:13 EST


sscanf() and friends currently ignore integer overflow, but this is a
bad idea. It is much better to detect integer overflow errors and
consider this a conversion failure.

This implements Linus's suggestion of using '!' to treat integer
overflow as wrapping. It does _not_ allow wrapping of unsigned
conversions by default, though, as in at least some cases accepting
negative numbers is _not_ intended.
