from fmt printf know how many argument it should have
Yes, it does know how many it *should* have, it does not know how
many it *does* have. (Although Han kindly informed me that there
are systems where printf also does know that. I should have known
because I have used systems where a routine could detect the
number of arguments supplied, but that is outside the standard.)

Han is wrong. Any such system is not C, in that you cannot count
on the facility existing.

A fully conforming C system could provide such a facility. It is the
code that makes use of such facilities that is not strictly conforming C
code.

Han:

You need to start a count of the number of times CBF is wrong and the number of
posts. You will need two columns. First the number of times he is wrong about
C. The second the number of times he is wrong on topicality.

On C he is wrong when corrected.

On topicality he is wrong when someone else posts a reply other than ask on xyz.

Then take the data and make a monthly post out of it.

You might include a couple of other regs just to see how many orders of
magnitude higher CBF scores!
