Hi,
is there a rationale behind this? If not, I think this should be fixed.
Similar remarks apply, BTW, to other EPICS tools. For instance, I noticed in
the past that dbExpand silently ignores the last line of a dbd include file
if it doesn't end in a newline. This has caused endless grief to Windows
users, as editors for Windows generally don't automatically add a newline
at the end.
If this hasn't already been fixed, I propose to put it on the list of things
to be done before the next release of base. I'd say chances that people
rely on the faulty behaviour are practically zero.
Cheers
Ben
