Package: gcc-3.2
Version: 1:3.2.3-8
Severity: minor
If the following is compiled with the options -Wall -pedantic-errors :
#include <stdio.h>
int main( )
{
int i;
printf("%p\n", &i );
return 0;
}
gcc emits the following:
voidptr.c: In function `main':
voidptr.c:5: warning: void format, different type arg (arg 2)
This warning is meaningless. The type of the pointer doesn't matter
for printf to write out the address.
According to gcc --help, -pedantic-errors should result in an
error. It shouldn't add more non-error warnings.
The warning message is wrong. Should be 'pointer format' or maybe
'void* format', not 'void format'.
