Bug ID: 90163
Summary: untranslated placeholder in
warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues
Product: gcc
Version: 9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: translation
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
Target Milestone: ---
From i386.c:
static void warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues (const char *feature)
{
static bool warned_once = false;
if (!warned_once)
{
warning (0, "%<-mcall-ms2sysv-xlogues%> is not compatible with %s",
feature);
warned_once = true;
}
}
warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues ("__builtin_eh_return");
warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues ("static call chains");
warn_once_call_ms2sysv_xlogues ("-fsplit-stack");
The placeholder "feature" can be practically anything. The name of an
intrinsic, a fragment of an English sentence or a command line option.
The fragment of the English sentence doesn't make sense when it is translated.
The %s placeholder must be a %qs, and then the diagnostic becomes:
%<-mcall-ms2sysv-xlogues%> is not compatible with %<static call chains%>
This breaks the English sentence and is impossible to translate into other
languages.
