--- Comment #8 from Philip Prindeville <philipp_s...@redfish-solutions.com> --- (In reply to jos...@codesourcery.com from comment #4) > For the general issue, my inclination is that we should add plugin hooks > into the format checking machinery that allow plugins to define formats > with the full flexibility of all the format checking datastructures in > GCC.

What about using pragmas to describe the new format specifier?
