Hi James,

From the links provided in the patch it seems that one cannot pass
char/float/short to va_start(). Fair enough. So if we make h3 an
unsigned int, the issue goes away, no?

For the current version of clang, yes. However, if we're fixing this
for good a char * pointer is the only guaranteed thing because it
mirrors current use in printf.


All right. I guess I wasn't aware that non-printf like variadic functions are now considered harmful or of the impending crusade against them :)

But in the context of this patch, can we please use something less invasive than changing all the arguments around? Promoting h3 to a bool (if possible) or int/unsigned int would get my vote.
