I'm not sure what additional details you want.
OK, let me ask more specific questions:
1. Why was the amount of whitespace in the tags table different
from
that in the source file?
It's a bug in anjuta-tags
2. What command(s) was/were used to produce the tags table?
anjuta-tags -e file.vala
3. Why are the issue and you talking about "trailing whitespace",
while the difference between Expected and Actual in the issue
is
in leading whitespace, not trailing whitespace?
Sorry for confusion here, I was imagining: given a string,
whitespace may "trail" on both sides of it. But I'm not a native
speaker.
Let's make it the other way around: please, provide any language
example, where having the trailing space may be significant for
unambigiously determining the tag.
etags.el doesn't understand any languages, that is the job of the
program that produces the tags table. etags.el just follows the
rules
for the format of tags in the tags table. I don't know about
trailing
whitespace, but tags for HTML files surely include embedded
whitespace, for example.
So once again, I suggest to focus on the particular problem you had,
because I'd like to find a solution for that without making
backward-incompatible changes in behavior of etags.el.
Okay, whatever. I get your position. Though I disagree, but we
clearly have different priorities here: while I'm focusing on a
Emacs user, you're focusing on technical correctness. I doubt this
discussion can move anywhere further, let's leave it at it.
Can my 1-st patch from the series be merged though?
