[Bug c/15338] New: There should be a __format__ attribute for syslog.

["matthias dot andree at gmx dot de" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

I like GCC's format string checking feature and use it a lot.

It has one minor shortcoming though: when used with strict warnings, I get
hundreds of complaints that "%m" was not an ISO-C format string specifier.

Of course it isn't, and GCC is right about that.

I am suggesting that GCC 3.5 adds support for syslog format strings that are
essentially the same as printf but with %m added (which is the equivalent of
putting %s and adding strerror(errno) to the arguments).
