Bug ID: 28072
Summary: Hard coded plural in readelf.c
Product: binutils
Version: 2.38 (HEAD)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: binutils
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
Target Milestone: ---
Readelf.c at line 10946 contains a rule to display a message with
singular/plural.
The rule is hard coded. It assumes 1 is singular and everything else is plural.
This is valid for English but not for other languages. That construct can't be
translated accurately.

{
if (filedata->dynamic_nent == 1)
{
if (filedata->is_separate)
printf (_("\nIn linked file '%s' the dynamic section at offset
0x%lx contains 1 entry:\n"),
filedata->file_name,
filedata->dynamic_addr);
else
printf (_("\nDynamic section at offset 0x%lx contains 1 entry:\n"),
filedata->dynamic_addr);
}
else
{
if (filedata->is_separate)
printf (_("\nIn linked file '%s' the dynamic section at offset
0x%lx contains %lu entries:\n"),
filedata->file_name,
filedata->dynamic_addr,
(unsigned long) filedata->dynamic_nent);
else
printf (_("\nDynamic section at offset 0x%lx contains %lu
entries:\n"),
filedata->dynamic_addr,
(unsigned long) filedata->dynamic_nent);
}
}
