Source Code

xgettext is a cool tool for automatically extracting text from source code. I modified the source code of gettext to make it support embedded code in MCML .

see x-lua.c

		case '%':
		{
			{
				// modified by LiXizhi 2014.11.23, skipping mcml style string %>'"
				int ahead_c = phase1_getc();
				if (ahead_c == '>')
				{
					ahead_c = phase1_getc();
					if (ahead_c == '\'' || ahead_c == '"')
					{
						// eat all mcml %>' or  %>"
						continue;
					}
					else
						phase1_ungetc(ahead_c);
				}
				else
					phase1_ungetc(ahead_c);
			}
			tp->type = token_type_operator1;
			return;
		}
        case '"':
		case '\'':
		{
			// modified by LiXizhi 2014.11.23, skipping mcml style string "<%
			int ahead_c = phase1_getc();
			if (ahead_c == '<')
			{
				ahead_c = phase1_getc();
				if (ahead_c == '%')
				{
					// eat all mcml "<% or '<%
					continue;
				}
				else
					phase1_ungetc(ahead_c);
			}
			else
				phase1_ungetc(ahead_c);
		}
