Yeah, I just noticed a misalignment in Vietnamese translation (just two spaces to the left, hard to notice unless paying attention). > static int usage_argh(const struct option *opts, FILE *outfile) > { > - const char *s; > + const char *s, *p; > int literal = (opts->flags & PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP) || !opts->argh; > if (opts->flags & PARSE_OPT_OPTARG) > if (opts->long_name) > @@ -482,7 +482,9 @@ static int usage_argh(const struct option *opts, FILE *outfile) > s = literal ?

The "strlen(s) - 2" is quite sensitive to how "s" is written. How about this? A bit longer but clearer. Your version is OK too with a comment explaining "strlen(s) - 2". -- 8< -- diff --git a/parse-options.c b/parse-options.c index 67e98a6..0f803bd 100644 --- a/parse-options.c +++ b/parse-options.c @@ -474,6 +474,8 @@ int parse_options(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix, static int usage_argh(const struct option *opts, FILE *outfile) { const char *s; + struct strbuf sb = STRBUF_INIT; + int columns; int literal = (opts->flags & PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP) || !opts->argh; if (opts->flags & PARSE_OPT_OPTARG) if (opts->long_name) @@ -482,7 +484,11 @@ static int usage_argh(const struct option *opts, FILE *outfile) s = literal ?

I think you might want to mark it so that you can translate "NUM" to a similar abbreviation in a local language. A similar patch like this is required so we get columns for "-NUM" translation instead of the number of bytes. -- Duy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
