-Wformat cannot use const struct fields as format strings on purpose?

+1 vote

Here's a small piece of code:

 static struct {
 const char fmt[10];
 } const x = { "%dn" };
 static const char * const fmt = "%dn";
 printf(fmt, 1);
 printf(x.fmt, 1);

The second printf produces a warning:

 test.c:105:10: warning: format string is not a string literal
[-Wformat-nonliteral]
 printf(x.fmt, 1);
 ^~~~~

From my point of view both format strings are identical. Why can't gcc deduce the format string in the second case?

struct xx

 struct

 struct

};

int main()
{    
 struct xx xyz;
 printf("%d",sizeof(xyz));
 return 0;
}

the above code compile well without any warning. Here my question is
1. How can I distinguish two 's' variable.
2. What is use case.

Advance apologies if this question has been asked previously, Google searches only turned up results for using -fPIE/-fPIC.

Is it possible to build GCC as a PIE? If so, would it be a matter of including the -FPIC/-FPIE params for CFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS and running configure && make, or are there issues I should be aware of (for example, should I set parameters for cross-building)?

Background: Android 5.0 requires PIE, which means that upgrading will break my existing native build environment...unless I can build a PIE GCC first, then re-build all of my utilities with it.

I need to use microhttpd.a and pthread.a to build a cross-compiled program to be deployed on an arm-linux-gnueabihf device.

Where can I find instructions on how to do this? Or, is this simply a matter of downloading the source code and compiling (on a 64 bit UbuntuPC) to a library with my existing gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8 cross-compiler?

While I may be able to find microhttpd.a and pthread.a binaries for an arm-linux-gnueabihf device, they will likely have been built with a different version of gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf, which, I fear, could open up a can of worms.
