[PATCH] vsprintf: Fix warnings about missing gnu_printf attribute in vsprintf.o

From: Petr Mladek
Date: Wed Mar 02 2022 - 04:03:14 EST


The following warning is produced by: make W=1 lib/vsprintf.o

lib/vsprintf.c:1770:1: error: multiple storage classes in declaration specifiers
static char *va_format(char *buf, char *end, struct va_format *va_fmt,
^~~~~~
lib/vsprintf.c:1770:14: warning: no previous prototype for ‘va_format’ [-Wmissing-prototypes]
static char *va_format(char *buf, char *end, struct va_format *va_fmt,
^~~~~~~~~

More similar warnings are printed after fixing the 1st one:

lib/vsprintf.c: In function ‘pointer’:
lib/vsprintf.c:2522:3: warning: function ‘pointer’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
return va_format(buf, end, ptr, spec, fmt);
^~~~~~
lib/vsprintf.c: In function ‘vbin_printf’:
lib/vsprintf.c:3213:12: warning: function ‘vbin_printf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
spec);
^~~~
lib/vsprintf.c: In function ‘bstr_printf’:
lib/vsprintf.c:3398:5: warning: function ‘bstr_printf’ might be a candidate for ‘gnu_printf’ format attribute [-Wsuggest-attribute=format]
str = pointer(fmt, str, end, get_arg(void *), spec);
^~~

Add the proposed annotation.
