With those, I am slightly worried about localization in the libc, and how strings might end up being processed, with possibly at some point heap allocations.
Looking around it looks like strlen/strnlen/strcmp/strncmp are generally safe (glibc/bionic) but it's not an exhaustive assessment.
strtol appears to be far more complicated.
You likely know better about those intricacies, let me know what you think!
