[Yanel-dev] Vim configuration for Yanel development

[Mehmet Birgi]

I did a little research on the web, and apparently the " \ No newline at end
of file" message is not really a bug, but more of a feature :-)

C compilers (and maybe others) expect each file to be terminated with a \n,
and will object otherwise. This seems to be the reason why Vim always adds
this character if it is not present already. For more reasons for having a
\n at the end of files, see:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/729692/why-should-files-end-with-a-newli=
ne

Unfortunately, I couldn't find a simple way to change this behaviour.

cheers,

memo
