[fetter-devel] carriage returns

[Attila Lendvai]

dear list,

i'm experimenting with Verrazano and it looks very interesting and useful!

but some of the files have carriage return chars in them (0x0d) which
makes life hard when not on windows (and even there).

i've got a handy script on common-lisp.net in
~alendvai/bin/delete-carriage-returns.sh **/* that removes them. i can
offer help on this, but this offer is obviously worthless without
commit rights... so it would be very helpful if someone could run it
on a clean checkout and commit the changes.

on a different note: i've made some changes to use trivial-shell and
echo the gccxml output to the repl which greatly simplifies life. but
right now a cvs diff results in a huge patch due to the carriage
returns.

and finally a suggestion from a newbie perspective (i've just passed
about an hour with Verrazano): the way errors are catched and
different errors are rethrown is not too helpful. after all, all the
users will be programmers with a debugger at hand. if i were to decide
i would let them reach the debugger as is, but with the echoed gccxml
output the situation
is already much better here.

if the trivial-shell change is desirable then i can send a diff of my changes.

hth,
