Yes, it is valid, but it may not be what you intended. Using -Wall will
gently hint that it might not be what you want to do. It is a good idea
to use -Wall, and to know that for every warning what you have typed
in is actually what you want to do.  sprintf("%s is fubar\n", foo) will
compile and link too, but you'd do well to check out the warnings.
