Andrew Kennedy commented on QPID-2539: -------------------------------------- RA: Is this to improve readability? I am not sure what exactly the benefit here? ADK: The whitespace and continuation definitions are to both improve readability and to make parsing simpler. I could easily restict whitespace back to the old set, but see no problem with extending it as longas it is well defined. As for continuation lines, if they are supported in one place, why not just support them everywhere, rather than the confusing (perhaps) rules about where exactly they can be placed. Every language that allows continuation characters for line breaking simply allows them anywhere and joins the two lines, ignoring the continuation character, I just wanted to follow the existing convention. > Update ACL file syntax to be clearer and add extra operations > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: QPID-2539 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-2539 > Project: Qpid > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: Java Broker > Reporter: Andrew Kennedy > Fix For: 0.7 > > -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Apache Qpid - AMQP Messaging Implementation Project: http://qpid.apache.org Use/Interact: mailto:dev-subscr...@qpid.apache.org
