The max irq is ~ 512000, if I am counting correctly, so 7 B should be
actually enough for everybody ;).

GCC can't proved it. And FWIW, on current Debian unstable (GCC 14?) I can't
reproduce this. In any case this doesn't increase stack usage AFAICT, the array
already have reserved 12 or 16 bytes.

Yes, sure, I am not disputing the fix.

But well, can we silence the warning in a better way? I doubt that...

With the above said, I think it's pretty much close to the best way.
But if you find anything better, I also would like to learn.

Perhaps next in row would be using snprintf(), but dunno if it's better at all.
