It seems like just dropping #define __printf in libbpf.c compiles fine (I checked both building libbpf directly, and BPF selftest, and perf, and bpftool directly, all of them built fine). So we can probably just drop this. I'll need to add __printf on Github, but that's fine. 2. Logistics. Which tree should this patch go through? Can I land it in bpf-next or it's too much inconvenience for you? > +#endif > > static struct bpf_map *bpf_object__add_map(struct bpf_object *obj); > static bool prog_is_subprog(const struct bpf_object *obj, const struct bpf_program *prog); > -- > 2.44.0.278.ge034bb2e1d-goog >
