Summary: xgettext -x should use more relaxed rules for msgid validity Project: GNU gettext Submitted by: None Submitted on: Wed 24 Jun 2015 03:59:20 PM UTC Category: None Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: None Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any _______________________________________________________ Details: When the file with msgids to be excluded using the -x option contains problematic msgids, xgettext fails. This is a problem when the -a option is used, as -a causes things like msgid "" or msgid "blabla\004blabla" in the output, which I try to remove using the -x, as in xgettext -a some.c -x some.xcl In my opinion either -x should accept strings that do not follow all the rules, or -a shouldn't output such msgids. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?45394> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
