Hey
This is just a basic question of the internal compliation.
So say you have a small program that prints like this:
char *mystr= "mystring";
printf("%s\n", mystr);
but if you were to have had
printf("%c\n",mystr);
gcc would throw up a compliation warning:
warning: format ‘%c’ expects type ‘int’, but argument 2 has type ‘char *’
Just wondering what kind of gcc macro checks for that something like
printf(const char* fmt, ...)
is there a macro to go through the fmt and va_list of the different
types. But then its intereasting if you have something like:
int x= 10000000000;
printf("%i\n", x);
it will also warn me that x is too big to be an int. I guess its marco
trickery but maby it isnt a macro maby a gcc internal compilation for
the 2nd case because when running gdb on apps printf goes to a macro a
check i think cant remember.
Anyways i am not even sure if i have a question at the moment but any
guidance would be cool :)
