[Bug 1707297] Re: qemu became more picky parsing -m option

[Thomas Huth]

Looks like nobody cared to implement this within 3 years ... and IMHO
it's maybe even better to not overload the CLI syntax too much ... so
I'm closing this ticket now.

Title:
  qemu became more picky parsing -m option

Status in QEMU:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  With qemu-kvm-2.9.0-3.fc26.x86_64 I am no longer to specify the memory
  size using something like "-m 1.00000GiB" but with qemu-
  kvm-2.7.1-7.fc25.x86_64 I could without any problem.  I now get an
  error message like:

  qemu-system-x86_64: -m 1.00000GiB: Parameter 'size' expects a non-negative 
number below 2^64
  Optional suffix k, M, G, T, P or E means kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-
  and exabytes, respectively.

  
  Is this expected or a regression?
