Subject: [PATCH] gdb/git: highlight whitespace errors source files
Date: Mon, 18 Jul 2022 15:43:59 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220718144359.1473453-1-aburgess@redhat.com> (raw)

For a long time I've had this in my ~/.gitconfig:

  [core]
          whitespace = space-before-tab,indent-with-non-tab,trailing-space

which causes git to show me if I muck up and use spaces instead of
tabs, or leave in trailing whitespace.  I find this really useful.

In this commit I'd like to propose adding something similar to our
three .gitattributes files, and enable whitespace error detection for
all .h, .c, and .cc files.

Errors are highlighted during a diff, for lines being added.
