my code.
I personally have never understood this (why worry about things you can't see that don't affect parsing and don't make the file noticeably bigger?) but apparently you're not alone, as Google's coding style guidelines also forbid trailing whitespace.
For what it's worth, this has come up on this list before. There doesn't
seem to be a solution.
As of recent Xcode versions (4.5?) you can enable this via the checkbox Preferences > Text Editing > Automatically trim trailing whitespace and also check 'Including whitespace-only lines'.
