Randy Abernethy commented on THRIFT-2725:
-----------------------------------------
One thing I think we should try to enforce globally is a white space policy.
This has sort of been implied for some time but it would be nice to make it
explicit.
I suggest:
White Space Policy
===============
1. Spaces must always be used in source files for indentation, Tabs are
forbidden.
Rational - Everyone has different tab settings. With tabs indenting source,
good code in one editor looks like an error in another editor. We have a huge
community and a vast set of languages. Spaces are the common denominator.
2. Line Endings must always be LF only.
Rational - Mixing CRLF with LF causes build failure on our key CI platforms.
3. Lines must not end with trailing spaces.
Rational - Invisible characters at the end of a line take up space in the
repo, cause git warnings and can cause identical code to report line changes
creating wasteful commits.
