 From a strictly language point of view, these warnings are correct. On
the other hand, unless they can be turned off by a switch, there's no
way you can avoid them short of explicitly casting the arguments to the
correct types. And that sort of defeats the whole point of having
#defined format strings.

Are you sure gcc-4 doesn't have a switch that would turn off these
too-pedantic warnings?
