Hi, According to the style guide and 'best practice' there should be no trailing spaces in the code.
Any descent editor has 'Trim trailing spaces on save' option and modifying editor preferences just for editing the code could be a hassle, cause those formatting edits could be intermixed with real code change otherwise. For example: $ cd iocore/cache $ grep -n -e '[[:space:]]$' *.cc | wc -l gives about 150 lines having trailing spaces This can be easily fixed with a simple script: #!/bin/sh for f do case "$f" in * ) sed -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//g' $f > $f.tmp rm -f $f mv $f.tmp $f ;; esac done Think we should fix that in a batch for all files in a single commit.
