Hi all. Who know, what profit i have if i add new line in the end file ? I see this setting but I don’t know if I need it ?

[Nikolay Vlaskin]

I have heard that this somehow helps the compiler, is it so?

Have you already tried to Google this? First result for me perfectly explained it

[Nikolay Vlaskin]

Yes, I have. But i don’t search some interesting

[Nikolay Vlaskin]

Can you give link ?

[Zun]

What did you type into Google?

[Nikolay Vlaskin]

“kotlin add new line in the end file”

[Zun]

Well this issue isn't Kotlin related. Maybe remove that and try search again

[Nikolay Vlaskin]

Is it really so difficult to give a link ? Or is it like coaching ?

[Zun]

Is it really difficult to perform a basic Google search?

The only advantage I know of is slightly cleaner diffs when adding more lines at the end of a file, since the previous last line doesn't get included in the diff due to the new newline character on it. Kind of the same argument as trailing commas.

Bit late to the party but it's part of the posix-standard: https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap03.html#tag_03_206 . If the last human visible line in a text file does not end with a newline it is technically not a line by posix-standard. Most editors and tools will handle this just fine but a few tools might behave surprisingly.
