Hi!

Attached patch is supposed to fix an old issue with debug messages and
a currently reported compilation warning that I believe also indicates
a possible abort() on Windows:
libavformat/hlsenc.c:1676:63: warning: unknown conversion type
character 's' in format
Patch untested.

Please review, Carl Eugen

I'm hardly an expert, but I'm not sure this is a good idea.
After configuring FFmpeg summarizes:
[...]
C library                 msvcrt
[...]
This has always been "mingw64" before. And next:

$ make libavformat/hlsenc.o
CC      libavformat/hlsenc.o
In file included from ./libavutil/common.h:491:0,
                 from ./libavutil/avutil.h:296,
                 from ./libavutil/avassert.h:31,
                 from libavformat/hlsenc.c:36:
./libavutil/internal.h:250:10: fatal error: crtversion.h: No such file or directory
 #include <crtversion.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
make: *** [ffbuild/common.mak:60: libavformat/hlsenc.o] Error 1

Also when I use the makefile it errors out right from the start:

CC      libavdevice/alldevices.o
In file included from ./libavutil/common.h:491:0,
                 from ./libavutil/avutil.h:296,

Thank you for testing.

Note that I believe the warning indicates a possible
crash on runtime.

To clarify: The C library flag controls both the build and runtime
environment, not only the runtime environment. Usually thats
identical, but in the case of mingw it is not, so extra care has to be
taken.

It would only crash if you use the security-enhanced versions of the
format functions (ie. with a _s suffix), which we obviously don't.
That particular code in hlsenc has always been very weird though,
maybe configure should just check support for that format code instead
of somehow probing that at runtime.

People repeatedly reported such crashes (they only happen
in rare cases because debug output and/or broken streams
are needed) - how did they change the functions?

This hlsenc thing is unrelated to any input data or any debug logging,
its always executed if you request the date-based filename scheme.
What you are referring to is probably related to using unsupported
format specifiers in av_log statements, which may end up in a custom
log callback that the user wrote, possibly using the secure printf
functions. But this is strftime.

Anyway nothing wrong with fixing this warning, but this was just not
the way to do it.
