Subject: Bug#641371: xgettext -k_ hello.scm fails if block-comment are used
inside a function
Package: gettext
Version: 0.18.1.1-4
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
As I was trying to use xgettext on my own scheme files, it always
failed. So I decided to try to run it on the example that comes with
gettext-doc and it worked like a charm.
Digging into what could cause this strange 'working on the distro
scheme example file but not on any of my scheme files', I found that
xgettext will properly work until it reaches a block-comment inside a
scheme function [as opposed to a toplevel block-comment which xgettext
appears to propely manage.
On the modified hello.scm below, if you run:
xgettext -k_ -o hello.pot hello.scm
and cat hello.pot, you'll see that xgettext 'stopped' working properly
after extracting "let's see: xgettext 1". In case you could not
reproduce exactly, I'll also attach the hello.pot I got here.

;;; Example for use of GNU gettext.

;;; Source code of the GNU guile program.
(use-modules (ice-9 format))
(catch #t (lambda () (setlocale LC_ALL "")) (lambda args #f))
(textdomain "hello-guile")
(bindtextdomain "hello-guile" "@localedir@")
(define _ gettext)
(display (_ "Hello, world!"))
(newline)
(format #t (_ "This program is running as process number ~D.") (getpid))
(newline)
#!
this toplevel block-comment does seem to confuse ngettext
(_ "this first string should not be extracted")
!#
(define (further-testing-xgettext)
(_ "let's see: xgettext 1")
#!
then for some reason, i'v noticed that xgettext gets confused if
block-comment is used inside a function, unlike @ toplevel
(_ "this second string should not be extracted")
!#
(_ "let's see: xgettext 2"))
(display (_ "let's see: xgettext 3"))
