This should work as well.
#include <ctype.h>
#include <string.h>
template<typename T = unsigned int>
T Hex2Int(const char* const Hexstr, bool* Overflow)
{
if (!Hexstr)
return false;
if (Overflow)
*Overflow = false;
auto between = [](char val, char c1, char c2) { return val >= c1 && val <= c2; };
size_t len = strlen(Hexstr);
T result = 0;
for (size_t i = 0, offset = sizeof(T) << 3; i < len && (int)offset > 0; i++)
{
if (between(Hexstr[i], '0', '9'))
result = result << 4 ^ Hexstr[i] - '0';
else if (between(tolower(Hexstr[i]), 'a', 'f'))
result = result << 4 ^ tolower(Hexstr[i]) - ('a' - 10); // Remove the decimal part;
offset -= 4;
}
if (((len + ((len % 2) != 0)) << 2) > (sizeof(T) << 3) && Overflow)
*Overflow = true;
return result;
}
The 'Overflow' parameter is optional, so you can leave it NULL.
Example:
auto result = Hex2Int("C0ffee", NULL);
auto result2 = Hex2Int<long>("DeadC0ffe", NULL);
