[bug #64921] xgettext marks more strings as c-format in 0.22 than in 0.21

[Bruno Haible]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #64921 (project gettext):

I reproduce the issue with a simplified Vala file:

        primary_text.set_markup(
            "<span size=\"large\" weight=\"bold\">%s</span>".printf(_("Welcome
to Shotwell!")));


$ xgettext -o - foo.vala

It is obviously caused by the 'printf' function call. xgettext treats 'printf'
in Vala like it would in C:

$ xgettext --flag=printf:1:c-format -k_ -o - foo.c

produces a 'c-format' annotation on the string as well (in 0.22 like in older
releases).

> I saw https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/2761 as
well for .c files.

This is unrelated. The gettext 0.22 NEWS file has this entry:

"xgettext and msgfmt now recognize the format string directive %b (for binary
integer output, as defined by ISO C 23) in format strings."
