Hi Christos,

Did you get that warning on i386?  On x86_64 I didn't get any lint
warnings, as these would have made my pre-commit hook fail.

Yes: https://releng.netbsd.org/builds/HEAD-lint/202201300710Z/i386.build.failed
Do you know it would only fail on i386?

Since usr.bin/make is also used in tools/make, it needs to follow the
rules in tools/README, which say that all tools should stick to C89.
The format specifier %zu comes from C99 though.

Yes, %zu is annoying because windows does not have it either (until very
recently I think). But cygwin does have it(?) so there is no issue?

Or can we drop the C89 rule from tools/README?  In the past few years,
usr.bin/make used several features from C99 (end-of-line comments, long
long, %zu, snprintf), and nobody cared to fix the C99-isms, so either
nobody needed the C89 restriction or we simply ignored the complaints.

I think that we should ask in tech-toolchain. Yes, I prefer to require c99
at this point.

Best,

christos
