Some of the solutions discussed: - Add something like PRI_RES which can be concatenated into a printk. Ugly. - Patch gcc to allow user-definable types. I think OpenBSD has a patch for this. Then we have to get that patch propagated to all the people who compile the kernel. Unappetising. - Disable gcc's printk checking, teach sparse to typecheck printk. Most people don't run sparse yet. -- Intel are signing my paycheques ... these opinions are still mine "Bill, look, we understand that you're interested in selling us this operating system, but compare it to ours. We can't possibly take such a retrograde step."
