%f assumes double argument (8 bytes)
Passing integter value pushes only 4 byte to stack.
So yes, printf gets unitialized value.

It's a bug in the code, not in the compiler. Compiler can't do any 
type-checking for variable argument functions.

Well, gcc has some logic implemented specially for printf and company, 
maybe it should be fixed.
