src/i18n-strings.c

   1 /* This file is not compiled in, it is used only to expose more
   2    strings to gettextize.
   3
   4    Why is this needed?
   5
   6    Bison emits strings to translate in the generated code, for builtin
   7    tokens.  So they appear only in generated parsers, which are not
   8    shipped, so they are not in the src tree, so we cannot use them in
   9    our POTFILE.
  10
  11    Except src/parse-gram.c, which is in the source tree.  And even in
  12    the git repo.  But to avoid useless diffs in the repo, we do not
  13    keep the #line directives in the src tree.  Yet, for the user, we
  14    ship a src/parse-gram.c _with_ the #lines.  This is done in a
  15    dist-hook which regenerates src/parse-gram.c when we run "make
  16    dist".
  17
  18    Unfortunately, then, update-po traverses the whole tree and sees
  19    that the location of the strings to translate in src/parse-gram.c
  20    have changed, so the bison.pot is to be updated.  And that is not
  21    possible in the "make dist" which is run within "make distcheck"
  22    (not the one preparing the dist for distcheck, the one run by
  23    distcheck to check that a distributed tarball can build a tarball)
  24    because then the src tree is read-only.
  25
  26    So let's not put src/parse-gram.c in the POTFILE, and expose these
  27    strings to gettextize by hand.
