Bug ID: 79093
Summary: Hard coded plural in builtins.c:3203
Product: gcc
Version: 7.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: translation
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
Target Milestone: ---
The following code is found in builtins.c:
warning_at (loc, opt,
(uwir0 == 1
? G_("%K%qD: writing %wu byte into a region "
"of size %wu overflows the destination")
: G_("%K%qD writing %wu bytes into a region "
"of size %wu overflows the destination")),
exp, get_callee_fndecl (exp), uwir0,
tree_to_uhwi (objsize));
Assuming singular is only for a quantity == 1 is wrong. See
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html.
If ngettext can't be used, please use only one string for both singular and
plural, like this: "%K%qD: writing %wu byte(s) into a region ".
BTW, the plural lacks a colon after %K%qD.
