/* Convert a string into a signed 64 bit integer.
 * The function returns 1 if the string could be parsed into a (non-overflowing)
 * signed 64 bit int, 0 otherwise. The 'value' will be set to the parsed value
 * when the function returns success.
 *
 * Note that this function demands that the string strictly represents
 * a int64 value: no spaces or other characters before or after the string
 * representing the number are accepted, nor zeroes at the start if not
 * for the string "0" representing the zero number.
 *
 * Because of its strictness, it is safe to use this function to check if
 * you can convert a string into a long long, and obtain back the string
 * from the number without any loss in the string representation. *

 * the string representation.
 *

 * by the function, than to pass a buffer (and convert it back to a number)
 * is of course useless.
 *

 * is no valid way to parse it, the function returns like if there was an
 * integer encoded with value 12345678900000000 + <unrecognized byte>, this may
 * be an hint to understand that something is wrong. To crash in this case is
 * not sensible because of the different requirements of the application using
 * this lib.
