Re: [cdt-dev] "New line at end of file when saving" as project preference
|
What does everyone think about changing the default? If that's what the
ANSI and ISO standards mandate maybe we should have it on by default.
This would be a very simple one line change on
org.eclipse.cdt.ui.PreferenceConstants.initializeDefaultValues(IPreferenceStore):
store.setDefault(PreferenceConstants.ENSURE_NEWLINE_AT_EOF, true);

In my opinion it should be the default, according to the ansi standard
a non-empty file shall end in a new-line character, so by not
generating it you actually end up with an invalid file. On source
files you will indeed generally only get a warning, but include files not
having a newline at the end may cause more obscure preprocessing issues.
Another major argument is that vi also automatically generates a
newline at the end-of-file...
