If the value of the result cannot be represented, the behavior is undefined." From what I can tell that means that we aren't required to set the errno at any time, since if you pass it an out of range number then that is undefined behavior. However, implementations in other libcs do set `errno` to `ERANGE` when `atoi` is passed a number that is greater than 2^63.

Ah! Not the first time cppreference.com is incomplete: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/atoi
Also, not all libcs set errno in atoi and friends. For example: https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/src/stdlib/atoi.c.
