--- Comment #9 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---

podlators 2.1.0 (2008-06-01)

    Add a new utf8 option to Pod::Man.  If set, do not convert non-ASCII
    characters to *roff escapes or X, and instead output literal UTF-8
    characters.  Add a new --utf8 option to pod2man.

    [Pod::Man] Match text between \f(CW and \fP or \fR in headings
    non-greedily to get the fonts right with multiple C<> formatting
    codes.

    [Pod::Man] Protect .Sh text against leading *roff control characters
    since some *roff implementations apparently "look through" font
    escapes at the beginning of lines.

    [Pod::Man] Escape backslashes separately from processing non-ASCII
    characters and do that, dash escaping, and underscore adjustment
    before processing non-ASCII characters.  Otherwise, we escape the
    hyphen in eth characters.

This was a bug in pod2man which was fixed in 2008 I think. Anyways I can't
reproduce the original bug with the even the original .texi code back in which
is why I am suspecting it was a pod2man issue.

--- Comment #8 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
So we were doing:
Define the macros @sc{__gnuc__}, @sc{__gnuc_minor__}


Where texi2pod.pl does:
    s/\@sc\{([^\}]*)\}/\U$1/g;

Which should be fine. It should have replaced @sc{__gnuc__} with __GNUC__.


We do now:
cpp.texi:defines @code{__GNUC__} to @var{x}, @code{__GNUC_MINOR__} to @var{y},


texi2pod.pl does this for @code:
     s/\@(?:code|kbd)\{([^\}]*)\}/C<$1>/g;


Note @sc is defined at:
https://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/Smallcaps.html


I suspect this was a pod2man bug, looking into the perl source base to find
when the fix was included. There was some __ replacement rules in pod2man in
the recent versions of perl.
