- Set errno = 0 before the call. Otherwise, it may contain anything.
- ERANGE is not the only possible errno value of these functions. They
can also set it to EINVAL.
- Any errno value after these calls is bad; just compare against 0.
- Don't check for the return value; just errno. This function is
guaranteed to not modify errno on success (POSIX).
- Check endptr == str, which may or may not set EINVAL.

- Every non-const pointer converts automatically to void *.

- Integer variables convert to each other.
I changed the declaration of a few variables in order to allow removing
a cast.
However, I didn't attempt to edit casts inside comparisons, since they
are very delicate. I also kept casts in variadic functions, since they
are necessary, and in allocation functions, because I have other plans
for them.
I also changed a few casts to int that are better as ptrdiff_t.
This change has triggered some warnings about const correctness issues,
which have also been fixed in this patch (see for example src/login.c).
