This builds perfectly fine for me - this is on debian stable with
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110:
CC drivers/clk/clkdev.o
AR drivers/clk/built-in.a
AR drivers/built-in.a
AR built-in.a
AR vmlinux.a
LD vmlinux.o
OBJCOPY modules.builtin.modinfo
GEN modules.builtin
MODPOST Module.symvers
UPD include/generated/utsversion.h
CC init/version-timestamp.o
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1
NM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.syms
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms1.S
LD .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2
NM .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.syms
KSYMS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
AS .tmp_vmlinux.kallsyms2.S
LD vmlinux
NM System.map
No warnings, no errors.
va_format is defined as:
struct va_format {
const char *fmt;
va_list *va;
};
and what we have here is a "va_list ap".
Therefore, the assignment:
fmt.va = ≈
is correct.
What certainly won't work is:
fmt.va = ap;
and there aren't any other reasonable alternatives.
My conclusion: your compiler is being stupid.
