1292 :: Cleanup - trailing spaces

• Perelandric (orginal) [2015-06-04T16:07:53+02:00] view original

  Thought I'd do a little brain-dead work this week and remove the trailing spaces from .nim files.

  Any remarks before I start submitting large PRs?

  There were a few PRs that tried to do that already, but they were not accepted. Instead we now set our editors to remove trailing whitespace on any file we edited. So the trailing whitespaces should slowly disappear from the Nim repo.

  I see. Thanks for the info.

  What was the benefit of trailing whitespace? I noticed that c2nim generates a lot of it, I think it did not remove the space when it splits a long line into two, maybe to simplify joining again? Will this behaviour persist?

  Theres no benefit to it, it happens accidentally most of the time.
