Message 76123 - Python tracker (original) (raw)

Some compilers don't understand "%zd" format specifer and gcc 2.95.4 is one of them. (You can find more on http://www.and.org/vstr/printf_comparison)

When building Python with such compilers, you will see a lot of "warning: unknown conversion type character `z' in format" messages. This is not a big issue but I think this can be fixed by using autoconf right way because configure script seems checking availability of "zd".

"checking for %zd printf() format support"

So I suppose there is a way to eliminate this warning completely.
