Yes, I saw this. See here below.

This makes me realize that only a few attributes are handled and can be
handled. The last lines should simply be written as:
+		} else if (start < at) {
+			warning(token->pos, "format cannot be after va_args");
+		} else {
+			ctx->ctype.printf_va_start = start;
+			ctx->ctype.printf_msg = at;
+		}

In other words, this parsing should not poke into the base type. But as-is
the two args will not be propagated into the function because ctx is for the
whole declaration. You will need to add something like:
	diff --git a/parse.c b/parse.c
	index 83bca24b3..4e273b743 100644
	--- a/parse.c
	+++ b/parse.c
	@@ -2979,6 +2979,10 @@ struct token *external_declaration(struct token *token, struct symbol_list **lis
	 
	 		if (!(decl->ctype.modifiers & MOD_STATIC))
	 			decl->ctype.modifiers |= MOD_EXTERN;
	+
	+		// apply non-modifier function attributes
	+		base_type->ctype.printf_msg = decl->ctype.printf_msg;
	+		base_type->ctype.printf_va_start = decl->ctype.printf_va_start;
	 	} else if (base_type == &void_ctype && !(decl->ctype.modifiers & MOD_EXTERN)) {
	 		sparse_error(token->pos, "void declaration");
	 	}

and at some later stage, I'll make it more generic.
