However, if we want to be on the safe side and also make the

think
allow_memory_relocate = !s || strtoll(s, NULL, 0);
would be the better statement (without any if() surrounding it,
and without the variable declaration having an initializer.
Doing this would effectively hide the "default" value. This is bad because 1)
it's not clear what the default is to someone just scanning the code, 2) it's
hard to change. (Consider how you'd modify the above statement if you wanted
to default to 0 instead.)
I would avoid the strtoll altogether:
if (s != NULL && s[0] != '0')
allow_memory_relocate = 1;
else
allow_memory_relocate = 0;
Let's not add hacks like this - a string of "0x1" ought to not be
mis-interpreted as meaning 0.
I'm pretty sure the xs protocol specifies "0" or "1" for booleans, so
"0x1" would be undefined anyway.
