// IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR SPONSOR
//
// This file contains no "wstring" variants. New code should use string16. If
// you need to make old code work, use the UTF8 version and convert. Please do
// not add wstring variants.
//
// Please do not add "convenience" functions for converting strings to integers
// that return the value and ignore success/failure. That encourages people to
// write code that doesn't properly handle the error conditions.

//    by the data type.
//  - Trailing characters in the string after parsing the number.  |*output|
//    will be set to the value of the number that was parsed.
//  - Leading whitespace in the string before parsing the number. |*output| will
//    be set to the value of the number that was parsed.
//  - No characters parseable as a number at the beginning of the string.
//    |*output| will be set to 0.
//  - Empty string.  |*output| will be set to 0.
