[Bug translation/13662] New: toplev.c:4563-4567: gettext interprets the two conditional strings as one

[Bug translation/13662] New: toplev.c:4563-4567: gettext interprets the two conditional strings as one

[debian-gcc at lists dot debian dot org]

[forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/227193]

The bug submitter is translating gcc-3.3 into german. At toplev.c:4563, there is
the following code: 
 
notice( 
#ifdef ONE_SYSTEM 
    "first string", 
#else 
    "second string", 
#endif 
 
These two strings are interpreted by gettext-0.12 as one string, which makes
translating it impossible. The source code of gcc should be changed at this point.

Two things, this really does not need to lociazed at all:
  fnotice (file,
#ifdef __GNUC__
           "%s%s%s version %s (%s)\n%s\tcompiled by GNU C version %s.\n"
#else
           "%s%s%s version %s (%s) compiled by CC.\n"
#endif
           , indent, *indent != 0 ? " " : "",
           lang_hooks.name, version_string, TARGET_NAME,
           indent, __VERSION__);

Another thing about the "bug", we know that fnotice is not a macro and it cannot be because we 
defined it as.  I do not know if we really want to fix this.

It does no harm to translate this text, and this code is such a tangle
that I think it worthwhile to clean it up a bit anyway.  Something
like this

  fnotice (file, "%s%s%s version %s (%s)\n",
           indent, *indent ? " " : "",
           lang_hooks.name, version_string, TARGET_NAME);
#ifdef __GNUC__
  fnotice (file, "%s\tcompiled by GNU C version %s",
           indent, __VERSION__);
#endif

would do just as well as we have now, and wouldn't cause i18n
problems.  (I see no real value in the "compiled by CC." line.)

This text goes both in the assembler file (with -fverbose-asm) and on
stderr (with -v).  It makes sense for the second to be translated, but I
don't know about the first - and whether any bytes used in some character
encodings might confuse some assemblers even in a comment.

well, then patch it so the write to the assembly file doesn't use
fnotice.  (the semantics of fnotice are precisely gettext + fprintf)
