Re: [Libvir] removing trailing blanks (and keeping them away)

Jim Meyering wrote: Yup, no problems with such a patch. Interestingly emacs perl-mode highlights trailing spaces. I looked into it, and there is a show-trailing-whitespace variable in emacs, so one might consider modifying our "standard" trailer to be: /* * Local variables: * indent-tabs-mode: nil * c-indent-level: 4 * c-basic-offset: 4 * tab-width: 4 * show-trailing-whitespace: t <--- NB * End: */ HOWEVER this doesn't work, or at least not automatically. Emacs complains: "The local variables list in foo.c contains values that may not be safe" and marks show-trailing-whitespace as one such variable. Although one can mark it as safe in your local preferences, every emacs user would have to do this. I've no idea why show-trailing-whitespace should be unsafe.
