More binutils-2.20.90.pot bugs

[Jorma Karvonen]

Hi,

Prior to function translate_addresses there is a document text:

/* Read hexadecimal addresses from stdin, translate into
   file_name:line_number and optionally function name.  */

But the following is a bit too difficult to translate:

#: addr2line.c:262
#, c-format
msgid " at "
msgstr ""

Could it be something like this:

#. TRANSLATORS: The first parameter is function name or ??.
#. The second parameter is filename or ??.
#. The third parameter is linenumber.
#: addr2line.c:262
#, c-format
msigid "%s at "%s:%u\n"
msgstr ""

The following abbreviations are sometimes too cryptic:

#: objdump.c:515
#, c-format
msgid "  Pg"
msgstr ""

Page?

#: readelf.c:6520
#, c-format
msgid "     vsp = vsp + %d"
msgstr ""

#: readelf.c:6525
#, c-format
msgid "     vsp = vsp - %d"
msgstr ""

#: readelf.c:6556
#, c-format
msgid "     vsp = r%d"
msgstr ""

#: readelf.c:6620
#, c-format
msgid "vsp = vsp + %ld"
msgstr ""

no idea, what is vsp.

#: readelf.c:11291
#: readelf.c:11813
msgid "liblist"
msgstr ""

Is this a section, a library, file or a list struct?


#: readelf.c:11647
msgid "GOT"
msgstr ""

#: readelf.c:11690
#: readelf.c:11758
msgid "Ndx"
msgstr ""

My guess is: the Global Offset Table (GOT) ja the Procedure Linkage
Table (PLT). But if they are translated and then changed back to
abbreaviations, nobody can't understand those new abbreviations.

#: readelf.c:11743
msgid "PLT GOT"
msgstr ""

#: readelf.c:11744
#, c-format
msgid ""
"\n"
"PLT GOT:\n"
"\n"
msgstr ""

#: resbin.c:675
msgid "fontdir"
msgstr ""
Again, is this a variable, a section or ...?

Why the following msgids are included in the pot file?

#, c-format
msgid ""

"<%s>\n"
"\n"
