Hmm. Looking around, it seems that %n$ support is required by the Single Unix Spec: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xsh/fprintf.html but it is *not* required by C99 as far as I can tell. I don't see any mention of support for it in my HPUX fprintf man page, either. So this construct may not be as portable as we could wish. There appear to be about 150 affected messages, in these files: src/backend/po/pt_BR.po src/backend/po/de.po src/backend/po/es.po src/backend/po/zh_CN.po src/backend/po/tr.po src/bin/pg_dump/po/zh_CN.po src/bin/pg_dump/po/tr.po src/bin/psql/po/zh_CN.po src/bin/psql/po/zh_TW.po src/bin/psql/po/tr.po src/bin/scripts/po/zh_CN.po I don't think we'll hold up release to fix this, but the affected translators may want to think about whether they can avoid the problem or not. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [email protected])
