This patch improves the behaviour of building perl under -DCHECK_FORMAT to produce a properly functioning executable (passes all tests). It does this by replacing the formats %_ by %-p %.256_ by %-256p %vd by %-1p There are then hacks in sv.c to trap these special cases and "do the right thing". All the extra code is surrounded by ifdef CHECK_FORMAT, so there is no impact on the real code. Summary make all test - OK make all OPTIMIZE=-DCHECK_FORMAT\ -Wformat - finds format errors, as before make test OPTIMIZE=-DCHECK_FORMAT\ -Wformat - OK Robin ------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and/or privileged material; it is for the intended addressee(s) only.
