Description Jiří Suchomel 2005-09-07 08:24:07 UTC 
tointeger("blah") returns 0 : should it? With this, tointeger cannot be used for
checking if given string is convertible to integer.
Comment 1 Klaus Kämpf 2005-09-07 08:29:11 UTC 
Thats clearly a bug. nil should be returned. 
 
Will fix this after 10.0
Comment 2 Klaus Kämpf 2005-09-07 08:30:07 UTC 
later
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2005-11-24 09:49:59 UTC 
Could someone do it?
Comment 4 Klaus Kämpf 2005-11-24 12:42:08 UTC 
The fix it not the problem. But how much existing code will break ?
(we probably have to 'grep -r tointeger' across YaST ...)
Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2005-11-24 12:45:24 UTC 
If this is the correct behaviour, I think it should be changed and we will see what relies on the incorrect one.
Comment 6 Klaus Kämpf 2005-11-24 17:08:06 UTC 
Its even documented to return nil on illegal strings.

Fixed in SVN, added testcase.
