[U-Boot-Users] u-boot 1.1.2 and atoi in exports not working

Dear John,

Be careful! Just running "grep" does not mean anything. You  have  to
check on which #ifdef's these lines depend.

For example, the hush shell is a port from the busybox  project,  and
was  changed  only  in the minimal necessary way. And if you look for
example at

common/hush.c:104:#include <stdlib.h>    /* getenv, atoi */

you should check the context:

    ...
    100 #ifdef CFG_HUSH_PARSER
    101 #ifndef __U_BOOT__
    102 #include <ctype.h>     /* isalpha, isdigit */
    103 #include <unistd.h>    /* getpid */
    104 #include <stdlib.h>    /* getenv, atoi */
    ...

Note the "#ifndef __U_BOOT__" part!

> tools/mpc86x_clk.c:206: want_gclk2 = atoi(argv[2]);
> tools/mpc86x_clk.c:208:         ppm = atoi(argv[3]);
> tools/ncb.c:14:         port = atoi (argv[1]);

Also, tools/ are tools that are running on the  host  system  -  they
don't have anything in common with U-Boot code.


Summary: there is no atoi() in U-Boot.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
