Yeah. In fact, if I adjust most of the format specs to gnu_printf I now
get exactly five warnings on MinGW64 (down from about 600). All the 64
bit int format warnings and their cascaded effects dissolve, along with
the %m warnings.
What I'm thinking of doing is to set up something like:
#define PG_PRINTF_CHECK __printf__
and on Windows redefine it to __gnu_printf__, and then set all the
formats to use PG_PRINTF_CHECK.
Sound OK?
