__printflike, like everything beginning with __, is in "reserved to the
implementation" namespace.  It may or may not even be possible to
define a macro with such a name; if it is possible, it may invoke
arbitrarily complex implementation-specific semantics which may not
bear any visible relation to the semantics you want.

Indeed.  If that's the concern, though, I'd suggest ATF_PRINTFLIKE,
which is only two characters longer (versus approximately double), is
not in reserved namespace, and follows the "macros are uppercase"
convention which has existed, for good reason, approximately forever.
