            Bug ID: 90156
           Summary: add linter check suggesting to replace %<%s%> with %qs
           Product: gcc
           Version: 9.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: translation
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: roland.illig at gmx dot de
  Target Milestone: ---

For GCC 9, all occurrences of %<%s%> had been replaced with %qs.

That must have been before 2019-01-08 since on that day the following code
appeared in aarch64.c:

    error ("invalid arg %<%s%> for %<-mbranch-protection=%>", str);

To prevent this unnecessarily verbose %<%s%> in the future,
check-internal-format-escaping.py should check for this as well and suggest to
replace it with the simpler %qs.
