[Bruno Haible]

Update of bug #64192 (project gettext):

                  Status:                    None => Answer Provided        
             Assigned to:                    None => haible                 
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #1:

"strings in preprocessor macros" means that for


#define ERRMSG \
  gettext("some message")


an msgid "some message" will be extracted.

> gettext(BAR);
> gettext("foo" BAR);

Substituting the value of BAR here would imply that xgettext contains or
invokes a C preprocessor. This is beyond the scope of xgettext.
