Fix printf-style format string mismatches surfaced by -Wformat/-Wformat-security with format attributes on wrapper functions: - Use %p for pointer types instead of %x/%08x - Use %zx/%zu for SIZE_T/size_t instead of %x - Use %x/%u for unsigned int/ULONG/mdTypeDef instead of %zx/%zu - Cast PCODE/TADDR to (void*) for %p format - Cast function pointers to (void*) for %p format - Replace Windows-specific %.I64x with %p - Use GetUTF8() instead of GetUnicode() for %s format - Fix missing/extra format arguments - Fix broken tokens from prior edits (m_addrOfCode, offset, GetAddress) - Fix void pointer arithmetic by computing before casting

Recommendation: restore original indentation on all lines where only the format specifier content changed. A quick pass with something like git diff --check won't catch these since they're not trailing whitespace.

if(CLR_CMAKE_TARGET_ANDROID)⚠️ Minor Format/Cast Mismatch — Should fix
In src/coreclr/jit/emitxarch.cpp line 12477:
printf(" {1to%zd}", (size_t)(vectorSize / baseSize));%zd is the format specifier for signed ssize_t, but the argument is cast to unsigned size_t. This should either be %zu (to match size_t) or drop the cast (to keep ssize_t with %zd). Since the value is always positive, this is benign but technically inconsistent.
💡 Removal of Custom PRIx64 Macros — Fine
The removal of FORMAT_PREFIX, PRIX64, PRIx64, and PRIu64 custom definitions from minipal/types.h is safe. All consumers already include <inttypes.h> or <cinttypes> which provides these as standard C99 macros. No code references FORMAT_PREFIX anymore.
💡 (void*) Casts Pattern — Acceptable
The PR adds ~30+ (void*) casts on PCODE/TADDR values for %p format. This is the correct approach since these types are uintptr_t (integer), not pointers. While verbose, this is the standard way to satisfy -Wformat with %p for integer-typed pointer values.

callback_threshold is a uint64_t, but it is logged with %lu here. On LLP64 platforms (Windows), unsigned long is 32-bit, so this truncates the value and (with the new format checking) can trigger a format/type warning. Use PRIu64 (or %llu with an explicit cast to unsigned long long) for this argument.

soh_withheld_budget/loh_withheld_budget are size_t but are logged with %lu. This is not portable (on Windows size_t is 64-bit but unsigned long is 32-bit) and will also be flagged by the new printf format validation. Use %zu (or cast to an appropriately sized unsigned type) for these values.

totalBlocksScanned is declared as int64_t, but is printed using %ld (and the related per-generation counters are printed with %ld too). On Windows long is 32-bit, so this truncates and is a format/type mismatch under printf checking. Use PRId64/PRIi64 (or %lld with casts to long long) consistently for these 64-bit counters.

elapsed is a uint64_t, but the log uses %ldus/%ldms. This is non-portable (Windows long is 32-bit) and will be flagged by printf format validation. Prefer PRIu64 (or %llu with casts) for the timestamp and derived values.

sample.elapsed_between_gcs is a uint64_t (see dynamic_heap_count_data_t::sample in gcpriv.h), but is logged here with %ld. This truncates on LLP64 and is a format/type mismatch with the new printf validation. Use PRIu64 (or %llu with cast to unsigned long long) when printing this value.
