I just noticed that this comment got reindented by pgindent
(xlog.c, line 3226 in REL9_1_STABLE): /* * translator: First %s represents a recovery.conf parameter name like
* "recovery_end_command", and the 2nd is the value of that parameter. */ ereport((signaled && failOnSignal) ?
FATAL: WARNING, (errmsg("%s \"%s\": return code %d", commandName, command, rc)));
Sure enough, the resulting POT entry does not have the necessary
comment:
#: /pgsql/source/REL9_1_STABLE/src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c:3230
#, c-format
msgid "%s \"%s\": return code %d"
msgstr ""
I think the proper fix would be to use the /*---- trick, such as in
postmaster.c:
/*------ translator: %s is a noun phrase describing a child process, such as "server process" */
(errmsg("%s (PID %d) exited with exit code %d", procname, pid, WEXITSTATUS(exitstatus))));
It seems to me that we should alert if pgindent does anything to a
comment line containing "translator:".
