            Bug ID: 28051
           Summary: Unextractable messages in the code
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.38 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gas
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: yurchor at ukr dot net
  Target Milestone: ---

There are several unextractable Gettext messages in the new code due to the
undocumented usage of quotation marks.

grep '%"' gas.pot

msgid "%"
msgid "0x%"
msgid "%s out of domain (%"
msgid "%s out of range (%"
msgid "value 0x%"

grep '%"' bfd.pot

msgid "%pB: TLS relocation at (0x%"
msgid "%pB: TLS local relocation at (0x%"
msgid "%pB: relocatation (%d) at (0x%"
msgid "%pB: stripping non-representable symbol '%s' (value %"
msgid "%pB: error: erratum 843419 immediate 0x%"

Example of the code (from gas/config/tc-i386.c:2564):

as_warn (_("%"BFD_VMA_FMT"x shortened to %"BFD_VMA_FMT"x"),

Here, the extracted message is just "%" because of the quotation mark that is
just right after the percent sign.

Thanks in advance for fixing the code to make the messages extractable and
translatable.
