GCC warns on usage of %x in the codebase.

Where?

Everywhere honestly. I was going to make a patch but too many locations.

I don't see the -Wformat-y2k option explicitly being used in the project. Can you provide what Compiler flags are you using? Also what warnings do you see.

Had a couple minutes to look at this. With -Wformat=2, we get "‘%x’ yields only last 2 digits of year in some locales". %x is the preferred date representation for the current locale. If the locale prefers to have 2 digit years, should I do anything about that? I want the formatting to be localized so that it matches the norms wherever people are. I don't think we worry about this warning.

Thanks for the report. But I think we're going to choose to not worry about this at this time. Closing this.
