Re: Adding %m conversion to the printf(3) family



> Subject: Adding %m conversion to the printf(3) family

Didn't we discuss this recently?  I have a fuzzy memory we did.

*checking*

Yes, we did.  Though the starting point was rather different, we did
discuss adding %m support to printf.  It was just a couple of months
ago, too - starting 2015-08-21.  (You even contributed to the
discussion!)

As a quick summary of my stance there, which hasn't changed: I think
that, ideally, %m should go away entirely; if it exists in printf,
there should be a way to get -Wformat warnings as if it didn't
(preferably defaulted on).

Unless someone says something more than a rehash of stuff from August,
I don't expect to say anything further in this thread.
