Interesting affect of different compilers!

If I compile with the above suggestion on my machine, i.e. convert ld to lld, I get a warning on my machine that uint64_t is long unsigned int (and not long long unsigned int as above):

vm_util.c: In function ‘rss_anon’:
vm_util.c:188:42: warning: format ‘%lld’ expects argument of type ‘long long int *’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t *’ {aka ‘long unsigned int *’} [-Wformat=]
  188 |         if (sscanf(buffer, "RssAnon:%10lld kB", &rss_anon) != 1)
      |                                     ~~~~~^      ~~~~~~~~~

      |                                          |      uint64_t * {aka long unsigned int *}
      |                                          long long int *
      |                                     %10ld


I will just do below which should work hopefully with all compilers:
