check_untranslated_src {potools}

Check for cracked messages in C/C++ sources

Description

Diagnose the C/C++ messages in a package to discover untranslated messages

Usage

check_untranslated_src(message_data)

Arguments

message_data

A data.table, or object convertible to one.

Details

This diagnostic looks for literal char arrays passed to messaging functions (as identified by translate_package()) which are not marked for translation (by tagging them for translation with ⁠_⁠ or N_ macros). These strings cannot be translated until they are so marked.

Value

A data.table with columns call, file, line_number, and replacement summarizing the results. replacement is NA at this time, i.e., no replacement is provided.

Examples

pkg <- file.path(system.file(package = 'potools'), 'pkg')
# copy to a temporary location to be able to read/write/update below
tmp_pkg <- file.path(tempdir(), "pkg")
dir.create(tmp_pkg)
file.copy(pkg, dirname(tmp_pkg), recursive = TRUE)

# first, extract message data
message_data = get_message_data(
  tmp_pkg,
  custom_translation_functions = list(src = "ReverseTemplateMessage:2")
)

# now, diagnose the messages for any untranslated messages in C/C++
check_untranslated_src(message_data)

# cleanup
unlink(tmp_pkg, recursive = TRUE)
rm(pkg, tmp_pkg, message_data)
