Subject: [RFC 3/6] compiler.h: add __attribute__((format_arg)) shorthand
The __format_arg attribute tells gcc that it can use a specific
argument to the annotated function as the format string for the
purpose of type-checking a surrounding __printf function call, e.g.
sprintf(buf, fmtcheck(what->ever, "%d %lx", 0), i, m)
makes gcc check that i and m are indeed an int and a long; with
sprintf(buf, what->ever, i, m)
the compiler cannot do any type checking.
