Honored ContributorIt is only an idea but I'm trying to think of a situation where two white space characters might behave differently to one. Do you by any chance use a C preprocessor (or similar) on your files? In C programming some long-ago preprocessors, expecting Unix LF-separated lines, would misinterpret CR-LF lines as having two white-space characters. Because backslash as the last character on a line has a special meaning (continuation lines), some compilers would make errors if they recognised backslash-CR-LF as backslash-whitething-endofline instead of backslash-endofline.
My understanding of AHDL is that it's entirely free-form, so I confess this is entirely speculative. Jonathan. PS. I do not believe current C implementations have this problem, just dredging for ideas.
