programmingk...@gmail.com[*] reported a runtime failure on a 32-bit Mac OS compilation, where "%"PRId64 expands to "%qd". Fortunately, we had very few spots that were relying on our pseudo-printf JSON parsing of int64_t numbers, so it was easier to just convert callers to stick to safer %lld.
The remaining uses of pseudo-printf handling are more complex; there are only 3 users in the released codebased, but LOTS of users in the testsuite (via wrapper functions like qmp()); I will be posting a followup series that rips out the remaining uses of dynamic JSON, but it will be 2.9 material, while these (first three) patches qualify for 2.8. The fourth patch is RFC; not intended to be applied now, but shows how I tested patch 3/4; it will probably reappear in the later 2.9 series. [*] git log shows the name John, but the particular email that sparked this only stated the non-descript name 'G 3', which makes it a bit hard for me to know which form is preferred when lending credit.
