As a duplicate, if you have questions they should be raised in the main bug
report; don't reopen a duplicate one unless you have an argument for it not
being a duplicate.
The question is how best to *cleanly* support format checking for wide string
formats, when narrow format strings can be tricky mixtures of bytes and
multibyte characters. I think the answer involves implementing some general set
of accessors (not accessors restricted to the case of format checking) for
accessing bytes / multibyte characters / wide characters in string constants
(nowadays, that would probably be a fairly simple C++ class abstracting access
to target strings in some way). Such accessors could then incrementally be used
elsewhere in the compiler when elements of strings need to be accessed.
