Hello bearophile,
opens up bizarre parsing corner cases,
and makes error messages uglier.
I have yet to see a proof of this.
Just off hand for parsing issues:
- it allows long code lines to be folded
If you don't have semicolons this is also true, for example
a = somefunc( first_param,
second_param)
b = something_else
I can insert a line break there without confusing the parser because the
parser is expecting the function call to end
- it acts as a bug check on reformat:
origonal code
MyType t; // result of -t and opSub_r(int) are lvalues
auto a = 5
-t = 3
MyType t;
auto a = 5 -t = 3 //reformat and forgot to add ';' Oops
Why would the formatter do that? The line break is acting as a
semicolon, it won't remove it.
