Sorry, a mistake in last comment. Read as:
   But if anybody is needing a function, that must return value,
   "exactly 32 bits length"...

My opinion about "-mint8 compatibility":

   Without -mint8 option, original (and patched) `strtol'
   return `long' value, that is clipped in bounds LONG_MIN
   and LONG_MAX.  Such, strtol("5000000000",0,0) must return
   2147483647.
      With -mint8 option, `strtol' must also return `long'
   value, clipped by LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX also.  But, due
   to reduced size of `long' (and reduced LONG_MAX, LONG_MIN),
   the result of strtol("5000000000",0,0) must be 32767.
      Such behavior agree, for example, glibc.  On computer
   with 64-bit long, result of strtol("5000000000",0,0) will
   be 5000000000.

In such sence, strtol (original and patched) work true with
any size of `long'.

But if anybody is needing a function, that must return value,
"at least as 32 bits", it is necessity to write another function,
with another name, like:
   int32_t strto32 (const char , char *, int) .

Thanks.

P.S.  In patch #3618 (strtol optimization) second part of source
contain test for strtol with strings, like:
   { "2147483647", 0, 0x7fffffff, 0, 10 }
This test do not work with `-mint8' option and must be rewrited
with conditional compilation usage.

In the patch for this bug, can you rewrite your typecasts using the types found in stdint.h? (for example uint32_t, uint16_t)

That way it can start to be -mint8 compatible.

Thanks!

Look, please, the optimized strtol, patch #3618. Twice speed up, and 32 bytes stack usage decrease. Code size the same.

This is very old bug.
strtol() must return LONG_MIN for inputs too small.
Original Berkeley version do it.  But avr-libc's version, for example, "-5000000000" --> -705032704 (simulavr, avr-gcc 3.3.4). You can reproduce such result on any 32-bit computer.

The reason is the attemption to negative LONG_MIN value (0x80000000).
Attached patch correct this mistake. (And it excude compiler warnings in comparison).
