.. every single time.
Every checkout.
Every checkin.
Before every update.
After every update.
My nice cross-platform perl script that used to do
checkout("foo");
process("foo");
becomes
checkout("foo");
$foo_ending = get_line_ending_attribute("foo");
$platform_ending = get_platform_line_ending();
if ($foo_ending == CRLF && $platform_ending == LF) {
dos_to_unix("foo");
} else if ($foo_ending == LF && $platform_ending == CRLF) {
unix_to_dos("foo");
if ($foo_ending == CR && $platform_ending == LF) {
mac_to_unix("foo");
} else if ($foo_ending == LF && $platform_ending == CR) {
unix_to_mac("foo");
if ($foo_ending == CR && $platform_ending == CRLF) {
mac_to_dos("foo");
} else if ($foo_ending == CRLF && $platform_ending == CR) {
unix_to_mac("foo");
}
process("foo");
No thanks.
Peter.
