ROOT 6.14 on Windows and EOL: LF vs CRLF

ROOT

ROOT Version: 6.14/06
Platform: Windows 10 Enterprise
Compiler: Visual Studio 2017 Community v15.7.6

Hello,

With the official binary package, running a script which ends with LF works fine, e.g. test_curly_lf.cpp (6 Bytes):

$ file /c/URANIE/MacroTests/test_curly_lf.cpp
/c/URANIE/MacroTests/test_curly_lf.cpp: ASCII text

However, I encounter an error if the file ends with CRLF, e.g.
test_curly_crlf.cpp (8 Bytes):

$ file /c/URANIE/MacroTests/test_curly_crlf.cpp
/c/URANIE/MacroTests/test_curly_crlf.cpp: ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

Do you know how to solve this problem?

Best regards

Hi,

I’ll have to check if this is coming from Cling/llvm/Clang. For the time being, just convert your files to LF line ending
