Howdy-
I'm running 2.2.2-R, with gcc 2.7.2.1, and am getting a weird symptom:
With this simple program:
---------------------------------
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
void main ()
{
printf("read failed: %s\n", strerror[0]);
}
---------------------------------
gcc -Wall yields, upon compiling:
foo.c: In function `main':
foo.c:6: warning: char format, different type arg (arg 2)
So, what gives? strerror(3) says to pull in <string.h>, which
seems to prototype it as char *. Is this a GNU bad, or has FreeBSD
done something clever, or (horrors) am I missing the point entirely?
