Hi,
after getting the latest bugreport against the QM in 3.4 I
thought a bit
about line-endings in files that kdevelop parses. The QM in
3.4 just
can't handle windows or macos lineendings (rn or r) and
it always
writes back n for newly inserted lines.
For KDevelop3 this issue isn't that big as KDevelop is only
used on
*nix, however the issue is much worse for KDevelop4. And
there it
not only affects the QM, AM or CM, I think it also affects
the
language parsers, as we do change the text contents.
My idea is to handle this is to read the first line of a
file and
determine its line-ending. Then storing this information in
the AST for
that file so it can be re-used. This would mean we read the
file twice
(or at least parts of it), unless somebody can come up with
a solution
that does this while parsing the file.
The kdev-pg based parsers currently ignore the r or change
it into a n
before lexing the content. I don't know the kate interface,
but unless
Kate does the change of line-endings on saving the file they
might be
affected too.
So any ideas how to not screw up the users line-endings are
appreciated.
Andreas
