 Message        <Context> the type of this argument to <function
                name> is not appropriate for the width argument of
                the conversion specifier "<incorrect conversion>".
                Behavior can be unpredictable.

 Description    This argument corresponds to an output width
                specifier.  C requires that this argument have
                integer type, and it does not.

 User Action    Cast the argument to an int type.
