I think that should be a separate, more obviously named helper inline
instead, something like:
static inline printf_width(const char *fmt, ...)
{
va_list args;
int width;
va_start(args, fmt);
width = vsnprintf(NULL, 0, fmt, args);
va_end(args);
return width;
}
#define snprintf(fmt...) BUILD_BUG_ON(1, "Use scnprintf() instead of
snprintf()")
or so? Then we could use it like this:
> tools/perf/util/values.c:147: width = printf_width("%d",
> values->pid[i]);
and naked snprintf use would provoke a build bug.
Various printf wrappers can still use vsnprintf() - it's the routine use
of snprintf() instead of scnprintf() that should be inhibited.
