[Bug translation/79093] New: Hard coded plural in builtins.c:3203


https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=79093

            Bug ID: 79093
           Summary: Hard coded plural in builtins.c:3203
           Product: gcc
           Version: 7.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: translation
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: fmarchal at perso dot be
  Target Milestone: ---

The following code is found in builtins.c:

        warning_at (loc, opt,
            (uwir0 == 1
             ? G_("%K%qD: writing %wu byte into a region "
                  "of size %wu overflows the destination")
             : G_("%K%qD writing %wu bytes into a region "
                  "of size %wu overflows the destination")),
            exp, get_callee_fndecl (exp), uwir0,
            tree_to_uhwi (objsize));

Assuming singular is only for a quantity == 1 is wrong. See
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html.

If ngettext can't be used, please use only one string for both singular and
plural, like this: "%K%qD: writing %wu byte(s) into a region ".

BTW, the plural lacks a colon after %K%qD.
