What tells the coding style about whitespaces at end of lines or in *empty* lines ?

Hi, I noticed while editing gcc files, that there are a lot of *useless* whitespaces at the end of lines or within empty lines, which are getting automatic removed by some *smarter* editors as I am common to use *sigh*. This leads to huge diff files and the real change is getting veiled. I

It also forbids embedded horizontal tabs for similar reasons (avoiding junk difs). That would be a problem with GCC, due to emacs being so heavily used, but a similar convention *requiring* horizontal tabs would solve the issue in question.

Thanks, that is what I want to hear. May it would be good point to run over the source to be as the GNAT standard demands ? Regards, i.A. Kai Tietz
