Package: gcc-10-doc
Version: 10.1.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
the definition of the string "C+" contains size escapes "\s-2...\s0".
That string is used in a reduced point size environment,
so the overall size changes are:
\s-1...\s-2...\s0...s\0
Size changes \s0...\s0 do not work correctly,
so the actual size after the second \s0 is three points lower than
expected.
Test (simplest with "groff -a", (or groff -Tpdf <file> > <file>.pdf)
as "nroff" does not change the point size at all):
.ds Ex \s-2Example\s0
size of text is \n(.s
.br
Test \s-1\*(Ex something\s0
.br
size of this text is \n(.s
###
The bug in the pod2man (Man.pm) file was reported in Debian bug 871225.
The bug was now also sent to "bug-debian-modulel...@rt.cpan.org".
The file "Man.pm" (in package perl-modules) that is used to create
the manual must be corrected locally before it is used to make "gcc.1".
The line with the definition of the string C+ is
.ds C+ C\v'-.1v'\h'-1p'\s-2+\h'-1p'+\s0\v'.1v'\h'-1p'
The "\s0" must be changed to "\s+2" (use the reverse absolute value)
###
The line
$1 . '\s-1' . $2 . '\s0'
similarly, the "\s0" must be change to the reverse absolute size
change "\s+1".
This change could have some effect on later code.
