Hi guys
While writing pillar code, I ended up using "stream cr" and it worries me to still expand usage of a pattern I would like to remove.
Let us imagine that we would like to prepare the migration from cr. I was thinking that we could replace cr invocation by newLine so that after newLine could be redefined as
Stream >> newLine        self nextPutAll: OSPlatform current lineEnding
what do you think about this approach?
Why not? But please keep #cr. Section 5.9.4.1 of ANSI reads: Message: cr Synopsis Writes an end-of-line sequence to the receiver. Definition: <puttableStream> A sequence of character objects that constitute the implementation- defined end-of-line sequence is added to the receiver in the same manner as if the message #nextPutAll: was sent to the receiver with an argument string whose elements are the sequence of characters. Return Value UNSPECIFIED Errors It is erroneous if any element of the end-of-line sequence is an object that does not conform to the receiver's sequence value type . my 2c, Jan
