Phooey - with this patch, but NOT a full use of gnulib *printf modules,
I run into a new issue:
CC event_test-event-test.o
../../../examples/object-events/event-test.c: In function
'myDomainEventRTCChangeCallback':
../../../examples/object-events/event-test.c:329:12: error: unknown
conversion type character 'l' in format [-Werror=format=]
(intmax_t)offset);
^
where the code in question is using:
printf("%s EVENT: Domain %s(%d) rtc change %" PRIdMAX "\n",
__func__, virDomainGetName(dom), virDomainGetID(dom),
(intmax_t)offset);
Note that this compiled just fine without your patch. It looks like the
difference is because gnulib's stdio.h replacement does:
# if 0 || 0
_GL_FUNCDECL_RPL (fprintf, int, (FILE *fp, const char *format, ...)
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF (2, 3)
_GL_ARG_NONNULL ((1, 2)));
# else
_GL_FUNCDECL_RPL (fprintf, int, (FILE *fp, const char *format, ...)
_GL_ATTRIBUTE_FORMAT_PRINTF_SYSTEM (2, 3)
_GL_ARG_NONNULL ((1, 2)));
# endif
where, if no fprintf module is used, then we are FORCING the system
printf format, so gcc thinks that %lld is unsupported - but at the same
time, mingw's <inttypes.h> has conditional logic that defines PRIdMAX to
"lld" instead of "I64d" when we have turned on proper printf.
It looks like we need to rethink the logic in stdio.h to unconditionally
use __gnu_printf__ when we are sure that the mingw define actually makes
a difference, so that the rest of the code base can just blindly use %lld.
