No problem having this in C2X. I'm not complaining about this feature. But
well, why does it happen in kernel's gnu11 (and in the example above too)? I
mean, I likely can fix the ata enum to be 1U << 31 (using BIT()) and alike so
that it all stays within uint. But how'd you propose to fix this:

? I.e. how to %-format "B" in your example for both gcc-12 (c == 4) and gcc-13
(c == 8).
