Bug ID: 90012
Summary: untranslateable placeholder in expressionsem.c
Product: gcc
Version: 9.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: d
Assignee: ibuclaw at gdcproject dot org
Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
Target Milestone: ---
From expressionsem.c:
const char *p = v->isParameter() ? "parameter" : "local";
e->error("cannot take address of scope %s %s in @safe function %s",
p, v->toChars(), sc->func->toChars());
As a translator I have no chance of translating the first %s since it is passed
literally.
Please add a check to the diagnostics linter that can detect this case.
Detecting this case is possible since:
* p is only ever assigned a string literal
* that string literal is never passed through _(...)
* that string literal is passed as a replacement for a %s into a message
Translating GCC is a huge amount of work. If only 1% of the messages is broken
like this, this means 130 bug reports. That 1% is a pretty good estimate, based
on my experience. I'd like that rate to be in the order of 0.1%.
