Bug ID: 80760
Summary: Suggested clarification of an error message
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: tree-optimization
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: goeran at uddeborg dot se
Target Milestone: ---
The message
"%<l1-cache-size%> parameter is not a power of two %d"
(from
https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs/gcc/trunk/gcc/tree-ssa-loop-prefetch.c?view=markup#l2038)
caused a bit of confusion during our translation into Swedish. We now realise
the %d will become the size which is not a power of two. But we still feel the
message is a bit strange, with the word "two" directly followed by a number.
Could I suggest a clarification. Perhaps
"%<l1-cache-size%> parameter is %d which is not a power of two"
or at least a colon to separate the size from the message proper
"%<l1-cache-size%> parameter is not a power of two: %d"
