I'm surprised that Michael didn't jump on this one, but I believe it
should be as easy as adding the code to the following line in
compiler/parser/chapel.lex:
[ \t\r] processWhitespace(yyscanner);
Then doing 'make parser' in that directory, then remaking the compiler.
Have we got you under a CLA yet? This'd be an easy way to make the 1.11
CONTRIBUTORS list. :)
(There very well may be other whitespace characters here. When we were
developing the lexer, we took an approach of "Does anyone actually care
about all these whitespace characters?!" and opted to go for the minimal
set and see who complained. A decade+ later, now we know. :)
Best wishes,
