>Description:
When you compile the following code with -c -O -Wall -g,
the warning messages include:
7: warning: char format, double arg (arg 2)
for the line
printf("%s", &d);
I find this warning misleading; I would prefer:
warning: char* format, double* arg (arg 2)
>How-To-Repeat:
#include <stdio.h>

void foo() {
  double d;

  printf("%c", d);
  printf("%s", &d);
  printf("%c", &d);
  printf("%s", d);
}
