pg_strtouint64() is a wrapper around strtoull/strtoul/_strtoui64, but it seems no longer necessary to have this indirection. msvc/Solution.pm claims HAVE_STRTOULL, so the "MSVC only" part seems unnecessary. Also, we have code in c.h to substitute alternatives for strtoull() if not found, and that would appear to cover all currently supported platforms, so having a further fallback in pg_strtouint64() seems unnecessary. Therefore, we could remove pg_strtouint64(), and use strtoull() directly in all call sites. However, it seems useful to keep a separate notation for parsing exactly 64-bit integers, matching the type definition int64/uint64. For that, add new macros strtoi64() and strtou64() in c.h as thin wrappers around strtol()/strtoul() or strtoll()/stroull(). This makes these functions available everywhere instead of just in the server code, and it makes the function naming notably different from the pg_strtointNN() functions in numutils.c, which have a different API.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: https://www.postgresql.org/download/ See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at https://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
