Bug ID: 80278
Summary: Messages with untranslated string fragment in
config/i386/i386.c
Product: gcc
Version: 6.3.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: translation
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
Target Milestone: ---
In function ix86_option_override_internal() in config/i386/i386.c, several
messages are build like this:
error ("generic CPU can be used only for %stune=%s %s",
prefix, suffix, sw);
Here, sw is assigned an untranslated string literal:
/* Set up prefix/suffix so the error messages refer to either the command
line argument, or the attribute(target). */
if (main_args_p)
{
prefix = "-m";
suffix = "";
sw = "switch";
}
else
{
prefix = "option(\"";
suffix = "\")";
sw = "attribute";
}
Such messages can't be translated properly because sw isn't translated.
An easy fix might be to use sw=_("switch") and sw=_("attribute") but, if you do
that, please add a comment to let the translators know that the nth %s in the
message is replaced with the translation for "switch" or "attribute".
