Question

I’m wondering if there is a nice way to avoid gcc to scream about printf types :
‘warning: format ‘%d’ expects argument of type ‘int’, but argument 12 has type foo’

This is pretty anoying when you know that you wrote ‘typedef int foo’ somewhere …

Of course, I’m not looking for the gcc fix for that ( [-Wformat] ).

I would like to know if there is a way to avoid the warning WITHOUT casting each time of course!

Answer 1

If you have typedef int foo, gcc shouldn’t warn you. If gcc is warning you, there’s a fair chance foo really isn’t an integer.
