IIRC, I just did a git grep for designated initializers where the RHS was a string literal containing a % char. Not sure that counts as a good way :) Doing that now finds stuff like drivers/scsi/hisi_sas/hisi_sas_v2_hw.c, where the .msg member cannot be annotated with a single template. Maybe one can work around that by replacing .msg with an anon union of msg_onebit/msg_multibit, with each their own template; I don't know if that will work, or if it will be deemed too much churn (it doesn't provide that much safety, since it would then just rely on accessing the right union member). Maybe the run-time checking is best for that case. Rasmus
