curdeius added a comment. Hi Alex and sorry for the late reply.
The main use case is a more readable `.clang-tidy` configuration checks. Before this correction one can use something like this: --- Checks: ' ,*, ,-cert-dcl03-c, ' ... It works, but is hardly comprehensible to a newbie (the strange use of addtional commas). Since the spaces are ignored (since a recent commit of yours) we can remove the leading comma and hope that no user uses a tab... After applying this patch, we can just write (with tabs or spaces and as many newlines as we want - used for grouping for instance): --- Checks: ' *, -cert-dcl03-c, ' ... Additionaly, you can sometimes accidentally issue a tabulator on the command line and that's just nice to ignore it. https://reviews.llvm.org/D30567 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org http://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
