Package: gcc-4.4
Version: 4.4.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

Citing the sscanf manpage:
"The  GNU  C library supports a nonstandard extension that causes the library
 to dynamically allocate a string of sufficient size for input strings for
 the %s and %a[range] conversion specifiers.  To make use of this feature,
 specify a as a length modifier (thus %as or %a[range]).  The caller must
 free(3) the returned string[...]
 Since version 2.7, glibc also provides the m modifier for the same purpose
 as the a modifier.  The m modifier has the following advantages:
 * It may also be applied to %c conversion specifiers (e.g., %3mc).
 * It avoids ambiguity with respect to the %a floating-point conversion
   specifier (and is unaffected by gcc -std=c99 etc.)
 * It is specified in the upcoming revision of the POSIX.1 standard."

However, gcc -Wformat tells me:
error: ISO C does not support the 'm' scanf flag

BUT: it obviously knows what the 'm' scanf flag means because it warn when
providing a char* instead of a char**.

GCC should be updated to have -Wformat support the 'm' flag (the supported
glibc-2.2 feature base is really old).
