We intentionally ignore the return value of strtol in that place, so this compiler warning is misleading. You don't mention what compiler you are using, nor what operating system / SDK, so I have no idea how to even reproduce this; hence I can't even attempt to silence it.

But feel free to experiment with non-obtrusive ways to silence the warning (e.g. maybe replacing "strtol" by "(void)strtol" does it); if you find any, we will consider including it.

Closing.
