texinfo-all-menus-update is a command that updates all menus within a
texinfo buffer. This command calls texinfo-insert-menu in turn to
update each menu. The problem with the latter is that it inserts
unnecessary white spaces at the end of most menu items following
double-colon. For example see bzr version 104838 of emacs trunk checked
in on July 1, 2011 where someone checked in cc-mode.texi with trailing
white spaces.
This problem has existed for many years. I know, because I suffered
through it many times myself. So I looked for a solution and it seems
like making one line change should fix this as shown below.
In emacs-lisp empty string evaluates to boolean true unlike python,
so that one cannot simply test boolean value of a string to detect
empty string verses non-empty string. It looks like testing the
(length) being greater than 0 seems to get the job done.
