new line at the end of line

(1/2) > >>

jokerar:
the compiler said that i must put a newline character(return) at the end of
every line of my code.

the Q is:
is this a programming requirement or is it compiler specified requirement?

thank

Ceniza:
It's more like a compiler specific "requirement" (it's just a warning). I would really like to know why it likes it that way :)

rickg22:
That's why I added the feature in CVS  8)

takeshimiya:
It's not only a compiler specific "requeriment", it's the way ALMOST ALL Linux/Unix utilities expect a text file.
So as a general rule you must always put a newline character when editing any text file (not only .cpp)

thomas:
And it is part of the ISO standard for C and C++.
Although gcc has no problems with it, some old preprocessors would mess up under certain circumstances (#include following a file that has no line end).
