| Summary | 0006842: Non-breaking spaces break code | |||||||||||
| Description | When code is copied from the web or other sources, non-breaking spaces may be used to format it properly. Although they look normal to the eye, they fail to compile properly. | |||||||||||
| Additional Information |
It's an easy fix. The second line of Scanner class>>initialize simply needs to include character 160, the non-breaking space, along with the others. newTable atAll: #(9 10 12 13 32 160) put: #xDelimiter. "tab lf ff cr space nbspace" Then, the fix is installed once you execute: Scanner initialize |

In my opinion this amounts to a change to the language and should be considered carefully. It may be a good change, I don't know. I'm just suggesting that some discussion occur before 'officializing' this 'easy fix'. |

Yes these errors are annoying: how would our eyes distinguish a non breaking space from a regular space (except near end of lines)? I would vote for the change. Only problem i see is that it might get viral: methods saved with non breaking spaces in Monticello repositories can only be loaded in images with this change... Maybe it would be good for backward and cross-dialect compatibility to replace with a regular space when saving the changes in the change file or Monticello... (But maybe not inside literal strings nor comments!) |
