>Description:
Issue is with the fmt argument to vsnprintf, although the warning is totally harmless and the only reason this fails is because we compile with -Werror.
>How-To-Repeat:
try to compile today's CURRENT amd64 with clang
>Fix:
I suggest using a pragma locally inside refclock_vformat_lcode(). Not a big fan of pragmas, but in this case it is harmless. So the code would look like this :
void
refclock_vformat_lcode(
struct refclockproc * pp,
char const * fmt,
va_list va
)
{
long len;
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wformat-nonliteral"
len = vsnprintf(pp->a_lastcode, sizeof(pp->a_lastcode), fmt, va);
if (len <= 0)
len = 0;
else if ((size_t)len >= sizeof(pp->a_lastcode))
len = sizeof(pp->a_lastcode) - 1;
pp->lencode = (u_short)len;
pp->a_lastcode[len] = '\0';
/* !note! the NUL byte is needed in case vsnprintf() really fails */
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
}
The only changes are the #pragma directives, nothing else, which means no functional changes of any kind.
