Terry J. Reedy <tjre...@udel.edu> added the comment:

I checked Standard C by Plauger & Brodie and as I read it, it agrees with 
py.user and his C compiler. For stdlib strtol() and strtoul(), the 0x/0X 
prefixes are accepted but optional for explicit base 16. If base is given as 0, 
they are accepted and set the base to 16 (which is otherwise 10). Except for 
%i, Xscanf functions apparently call either of the above with an explicit base, 
which is 16 for the %x specifiers.
