Update of bug #36524 (project octave):
Severity: 1 - Wish => 2 - Minor
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #1:
Another reason to do this would be to allow conditional text within the
docstring, based on which HAVE_... macros are defined.
Treating the docstring as a C string would allow
"first part"
#ifdef HAVE_...
"middle part"
#endif
"final part"
but since these are parsed by sed instead being treated as C strings, this
introduces a spurious pair of double quotes.
The patch for bug #45654 would benefit from that, since functionality depends
on HAVE_SETPGID. Things such as graphics_toolkit may also benefit from being
able to provide installation-specific help.
One solution may be to use sed to extract a short section of C/cpp code
containing a printf to generate the .df file, though that may be rather slow.
Severity: Wishlist -> Minor
