Well, I'm not sure how that affects the line where we actually use it
(with the atomic variables) or whether that line is not needed anymore
(if that was a fix for older compilers or something similar).  But I
can send a patch for removing that warning.  How about the other
warning we get when we turn off the first one?  I just found out.  I
think that could be turned off as well, either for some particular
places or for the whole build:

util/virtime.c: In function 'virTimeStringThenRaw':
util/virtime.c:215:9: error: '%02d' directive output may be truncated writing between 2 and 11 bytes into a region of size between 5 and 21 [-Werror=format-truncation=]

I think we might just want to switch to asprintf here instead of trying to
optimize into a fixed stack allocated buffer.


I wanted to do that and started rewriting it, but I found out we use
static buffers in lot of places and lot of them then use snprintf or
similar.  In some cases it doesn't even make much of a sense, e.g.:

 snprintf(buf, 3, "%d", var)

even this can fail.  I get the reason for the warning, but I don't
really agree that it's something that is necessary to avoid, so I'm
inclining to ignoring that warning as well.


Regards,
Daniel
