Fix GCC-9.1 warning with macro GET_ARG_NUMERIC
GCC-9.1 reports following error when trying to compile file src/malloc_io.c and with CFLAGS='-Werror' : src/malloc_io.c: In function ‘malloc_vsnprintf’: src/malloc_io.c:369:2: error: case label value exceeds maximum value for type [-Werror] 369 | case '?' | 0x80: \ | ^~~~ src/malloc_io.c:581:5: note: in expansion of macro ‘GET_ARG_NUMERIC’ 581 | GET_ARG_NUMERIC(val, 'p'); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... <snip> cc1: all warnings being treated as errors make: *** [Makefile:388: src/malloc_io.sym.o] Error 1 The warning is reported as by default the type 'char' is 'signed char' and or-ing 0x80 will turn the case label char negative which will be beyond the printable ascii range (0 - 127). The patch fixes this by explicitly casting the 'len' variable as unsigned char' inside the 'switch' statement so that value of expression " '?' | 0x80 " falls within the legal values of the variable 'len'.
