[Pnet-developers] [bug] resgen misinterprets valid PO files

[Bruno Haible]

Using pnet-0.6.0.

The resgen utility does not ignore "fuzzy" markers. Such markers are
part of lines starting with #, in PO files, and mean: "This translation
needs to be reviewed and corrected by a translator." Messages marked
with "#, ... fuzzy ..." therefore must not be put into .resources files
in a way that GetString could access.

=========================== hello.cs =============================
using System;
using System.Resources;
using System.Reflection;
class Hello {
  static void Main() {
    ResourceManager rm =
      new ResourceManager("hello", Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly());
    try {
      Console.WriteLine(rm.GetString("Hello World!"));
    } catch (InvalidOperationException e) { Console.WriteLine("<none>"); }
    try {
      Console.WriteLine(rm.GetString("Hello Dolly {0}"));
    } catch (InvalidOperationException e) { Console.WriteLine("<none>"); }
    try {
      Console.WriteLine(rm.GetString("Anything"));
    } catch (InvalidOperationException e) { Console.WriteLine("<none>"); }
  }
}
============================= de.po ================================
msgid "Hello World!"
msgstr "Hallo Welt!"

#, csharp-format, fuzzy
msgid "Hello Dolly {0}"
msgstr "Hallo Welt!"
====================================================================

$ resgen de.po hello.resources
$ cscc -fresources=hello.resources hello.cs -o hello.exe
$ ilrun hello.exe
Hallo Welt!
Hallo Welt!


Look at the second output line. Expected:
$ ilrun hello.exe
Hallo Welt!
<none>
<none>
