On Windows, getpid() always returns an int value, but pid_t (which is expected by the format string) is either a 32 bit or a 64 bit value.
Without a type cast (or a modified format string), the compiler prints a warning when building for 64 bit Windows and the resulting trace_file_name will include a wrong pid: trace/simple.c:332:9: warning: format ‘%lld’ expects argument of type ‘long long int’, but argument 2 has type ‘int’ [-Wformat=] Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <s...@weilnetz.de> --- trace/simple.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/trace/simple.c b/trace/simple.c index 11ad030..56a624c 100644 --- a/trace/simple.c +++ b/trace/simple.c @@ -329,7 +329,8 @@ bool st_set_trace_file(const char *file) g_free(trace_file_name); if (!file) { - trace_file_name = g_strdup_printf(CONFIG_TRACE_FILE, getpid()); + /* Type cast needed for Windows where getpid() returns an int. */ + trace_file_name = g_strdup_printf(CONFIG_TRACE_FILE, (pid_t)getpid()); } else { trace_file_name = g_strdup_printf("%s", file); } -- 2.1.4
