I think you’re hitting GCC bug #90333 [0]. This claims to have been fixed in
r265787, but I can still reproduce this issue with GCC 9.2.1 that includes that
commit. Turning this into a C++11 attribute ([[gnu::format(printf, 2, 3)]])
makes the parse error go away, but -Wattributes still indicates GCC is ignoring
it. You might need to bump that GCC issue with some evidence that the bug still
exists and see what the maintainers say. If you need to bypass this urgently, I
would recommend deleting the attribute as that particular one is only used to
aid the compiler in creating warnings.
