The Screen::show takes ownership of the screen pointer. I decided to
switch the parameter to std::unique_ptr to make the pointer ownership
explicit. The unique_ptr then provides automatic screen destruction in
Screen::show unless pointer is inserted or is already in the linked list
that is managed by df.
gcc supports type checks for printf parameters which can catch some hard
to reproduce bugs. Possible bugs happen when the parameter value is
intepreted differently to the variable value.
Example warnings follow
../library/LuaWrapper.cpp:1011:86: warning: format ‘%llu’ expects argument
of type ‘long long unsigned int’, but argument 3 has type ‘uint64_t
{aka long unsigned int}’ [-Wformat=]
../plugins/follow.cpp:159:35: warning: format not a string literal and no
format arguments [-Wformat-security]
The idea is to make ui handling more modular, dispensing with
huge functions that switch or if/else on lots of variables.
For now, used to split up functions in the sort plugin.
