And this improves what?  Certainly not clarity.

In my opinion, the STRTOSZ_DEFSUFFIX_TB are useless chaff.  Chacun à son
goût.

It cuts out lines of code, which is good, and using the macros means the
user is less likely to make a type and use a wrong character.

It's a taste issue though, I agree!

<shrug> I prefer it.  Better than having 'B'/'K'/'M'/'G'/'T' sprinkled
throughout the code.  Easier to search for, easier to update, more
consistent.

Yeah, I have to agree.  I'm not of the literals are evil camp.

BTW, a useful change would be to accept both upper and lower case letters.

It already supports both, it's handle in the toupper() call.

And it does, via the toupper() added earlier in the series (and which
has separately been pointed out that using qemu_toupper() might be nicer).

Ok.  Just taking the different case labels would be nicer IMHO.

The old code did that, but I was suggested to do it this way, which I
think is cleaner too. Fewer lines of code are easier to read.

toupper() is based on locale so it's not consistent.

If you can show me an actually used locale where the toupper() on
k/m/g/t doesn't result in K/M/G/T then I guess there's a case. Otherwise
I don't really see this being a real point.

I think we are hitting the point where it's about who's taste is better,
and not about the actual code in this discussion.

One point in favor of the patch is this:

Without the patch:
jes@red-feather qemu]$ size cutils.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4212	      0	      0	   4212	   1074	cutils.o
With patch:
[jes@red-feather qemu]$ size cutils.o
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   4196	      0	      0	   4196	   1064	cutils.o

IMHO it makes the code easier to read, but beyond that there isn't much.
If people are strongly against it, I'll just drop the patch. It's not
worth our time arguing over this level of detail. Otherwise I'd like to
see it applied.

Cheers,
Jes
