-- gerrit commit 5a42af73b4d60e6f76fd57de5a4d029c3f281f60 Author: Antonio Borneo <borneo.anto...@gmail.com> Date: Mon Dec 19 19:41:46 2022 +0100 helper: command: drop last LF ('\n') from sequence of command_print() The OpenOCD commands produce their TCL text result through the pair command_print() and command_print_sameline(). The latter is used to concatenate output in a single line. At the end of a sequence of command_print(), the last LF is taken as part of the command result, while it is not always needed, and it is even annoying when the output of two commands needs to be concatenate in a single line. Using command_print_sameline() in place of the last call to command_print() would solve the problem but it's quite expensive in term of coding to fix all the existing commands. Drop the last LF, if present. Commands that would specifically need a LF as last char, can add a second LF at the end of the output.
