Revert "Makefile.extrawarn: re-enable -Wformat for clang"
This reverts commit 258fafcd06
.
The clang -Wformat warning is terminally broken, and the clang people
can't seem to get their act together.
This test program causes a warning with clang:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
}
resulting in
t.c:5:19: warning: format specifies type 'unsigned char' but the argument has type 'int' [-Wformat]
printf("%hhu\n", 'a');
~~~~ ^~~
%d
and apparently clang people consider that a feature, because they don't
want to face the reality of how either C character constants, C
arithmetic, and C varargs functions work.
The rest of the world just shakes their head at that kind of
incompetence, and turns off -Wformat for clang again.
And no, the "you should use a pointless cast to shut this up" is not a
valid answer. That warning should not exist in the first place, or at
least be optinal with some "-Wformat-me-harder" kind of option.
[ Admittedly, there's also very little reason to *ever* use '%hh[ud]' in
C, but what little reason there is is entirely about 'I want to see
only the low 8 bits of the argument'. So I would suggest nobody ever
use that format in the first place, but if they do, the clang
behavious is simply always wrong. Because '%hhu' takes an 'int'. It's
that simple. ]
