Hi! > I like this RFC overall. Precise parameter checks is good for security > always. I don't see how it matters for security at all. If you need an int, (int) works as well as any proposed check, security-wise. You may want different diagnostics, etc. but this doesn't have to do much with security. In other words, if the security depends on any differences between (int) and to_int, it's probably not done right. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
