I need to graphically mark C# files based on the compiler's output and this discrepancy makes the underlining different (or rather, plain out wrong,) if the user is using tabs instead of spaces. + +------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-08-21 22:30 ------- +Many (most) Unix programs assume that tab == 8 spaces, in particular +cat(1), or default to tab being 8 spaces (gedit, vim, emacs...). + +In order for error messges to be correct, the appropriate platform +assumptions (tab == 8 spaces) must be followed. (See also gcc, Perl, +Python, and every other compiler/interpreter ever written on Unix.) I +don't see CSC.EXE-compatible numbering happening anytime soon. + +The best you could likely hope for is an additional mcs option to set +the number of spaces a tab is equal to, or an environment variable. +I'm not sure how much support there would be for this, though. _______________________________________________ mono-bugs maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-bugs
