From ed4cf6e8e29bebb9324ba1a400a6c07513f2d642 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "brian m. carlson" Date: Mon, 20 Jan 2025 01:56:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] gitattributes: mark AsciiDoc files as LF-only In a future commit, we'll move the AsciiDoc documentation files to the ".adoc" extension rather than the extension ".txt". We need these files to use only LF because they are read by generate-cmdlist.sh using the read builtin. If we allow CRLF here, the CR at the end of the line is treated as part of the synopsis, since a POSIX shell doesn't consider it special like LF. In that case, we generate synopsis strings in C that contain a CR, which the compiler does not like because it believes that the double quote string terminator is missing, and as a consequence, compilation fails. Because we rely on LF-only endings here to compile successfully and we want Git to continue to be able to compile on Windows, mark these files as LF-only in the .gitattributes file.
