5 # Generate a C string table based on an input string specification file.
7 # A string table is a single large char single array containing all of
8 # the specified (0-terminated) strings, which is then offset to obtain
9 # the desired string. By storing these offsets instead of string pointers
10 # into read-only data structures, this can reduce the need for relocation
11 # processing at startup when programs are built in PIC mode.
13 # The string specification file is processed line by line. Comment
14 # lines may be included by beginning the line with a # character, which
15 # must be the very first character on the line. If a comment is encountered,
16 # processing immediately moves on to the next line and the result is as if
17 # the comment line were omitted from the input.
19 # Options may be used to alter the normal behaviour. An option is placed
20 # on a line by itself beginning with an @ character, and may appear anywhere
21 # in the input file. The following options are defined:
23 # @nozero
24 # All strings will have a non-zero offset in the strtab.
26 # @macro
27 # Instead of a variable declaration, the generated header will define an
28 # object-like macro that can be used as the initializer for a char array.
30 # A string is defined by beginning a line with one or two & characters, which
31 # must be immediately followed by a C identifier. Two & characters indicates
32 # a string that should not be translated, as described below. A nonempty
33 # sequence of whitespace (with at most one newline) separates the identifier
34 # from the beginning of the string itself. This whitespace is never included
35 # in the output.
37 # The string is then interpreted as follows:
39 # - Leading blanks on each line are ignored.
40 # - The sequences \\, \a, \b, \t, \n, \v, \f and \r can be entered and
41 # mean the same as they do in C string literals. The "\\" sequence
42 # prevents any special interpretation of the second backslash.
43 # - Newlines in the input are included in the output, except for the
44 # where the entire string (including its identifier) are on one line.
45 # - If this is not desired, a newline which is immediately preceded by an
46 # unescaped backslash will deleted, along with the backslash.
47 # - All other backslashes are deleted. This can be used to prevent special
48 # handling of whitespace, # or & characters at the beginning of a line.
50 # Unless the @macro option is specified, the output defines a variable,
51 # strtab, which contains all of the strings, and each identifier in the input
52 # is declared as an emumeration constant whose value is the offset of the
53 # associated string within strtab. Otherwise, if the @macro option is
54 # specified, no variables are defined and STRTAB_INITIALIZER object-like macro
55 # may be used to initialize a char array with static storage duration.
57 # Normally, the generated source code wraps strings using the identity macro
58 # N_(x), which has no effect on the resulting data structures but enables tools
59 # such as xgettext to extract translatable strings from the source code. An
60 # identifier preceded by two ampersands (&&) suppresses this output to allow
61 # a single string table to also contain both translateable strings as well as
62 # ones that should not be translated.
64 # The object-like macro STRTAB_MAX_OFFSET is defined and expands to the
65 # greatest string offset, suitable for use in #if preprocessing directives.
