Hi all,
I write a lot of C++ code that is shared between Mac and Windows. I
just went through all my files (using CodeWarrior) to make sure that
they're all set to use Windows line endings (CR/LF), so that they will
load properly in Visual Studio on the PC. However, I'm wondering if I
need to do anything about the "file encoding" setting I see on the Mac
when I do a Get Info on a file. The files I have mostly say "Western
(Mac OS Roman)", but the Preferences setting is "Unicode (UTF-8)".
I'm wondering if this makes any difference at all, and if I need to go
through and change each file individually to one or the other encoding.
I've had a LOT of troubles with the line endings not being consistent
(and I'm still not entirely convinced that sometimes Xcode isn't
giving me incorrect line endings when doing a lot of copy/paste
operations, since files I work on sometimes revert to "unspecified" or
give errors when loading in Visual Studio). So I want to be sure that
the "file encoding" setting might not also be causing me problems.
Anyone know if this something I need to address, or is it ok to just
leave it alone?
Thanks,
Howard
