## [Groovy] Class FormatStringChecker

- groovy.typecheckers.FormatStringChecker

-     class FormatStringChecker
      extends TypeCheckingDSL

  Checks at compile-time for incorrect format strings in format methods such as `printf` and `String.format`. A format method's specification requires that:

  •
  - The format string's syntax is valid
  •
  - The correct number of arguments is passed
  •
  - Each argument has the appropriate type
  - Example invalid format strings include:

             String.format('%y', 7)                 // unknown conversion: 'y'
             sprintf('%d', 'some string')           // illegal conversion: d != java.lang.String
             printf("%d %s", 7)                     // missing argument: '%s'
             System.out.printf('%-tT', new Date())  // missing width
             String.format(Locale.US, '%#b', true)  // invalid flag
