Cube FW line endings finally changed to just LF but without warning?

[Kolja Waschk]

Hi

Looking at recent STM32Cube FW for H7 (1.13 after 1.11) or G0 (1.6.3 after 1.6.2), I found that line endings in the archives downloaded by CubeMX (e.g. stm32cube_fw_g0_v163.zip) in several files have been changed from CR/LF to LF.

In principle, I welcome this change, but as it makes large parts of code appear “different” to existing code base (unless one already cared about correct handling and conversion in the past), shouldn’t there be some warning during code generation when overwriting large amounts of files that still have CR/LF?! Did I miss some announcement?

Hello ​@Kolja Waschk 

I am currently investigating this behavior. I will get back to you ASAP.

For reference, what I did (in linux bash shell) 

$ unzip /opt/st/STM32Cube/Repository/stm32cube_fw_g0_v162.zip -d 162

$ unzip /opt/st/STM32Cube/Repository/stm32cube_fw_g0_v163.zip -d 163

$ file 162/STM32Cube_FW_G0_V1.6.0/Drivers/STM32G0xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32g0xx_hal.c

162/STM32Cube_FW_G0_V1.6.0/Drivers/STM32G0xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32g0xx_hal.c: C source, ASCII text, with CRLF line terminators

$ file 163/STM32Cube_FW_G0_V1.6.0/Drivers/STM32G0xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32g0xx_hal.c

163/STM32Cube_FW_G0_V1.6.0/Drivers/STM32G0xx_HAL_Driver/Src/stm32g0xx_hal.c: C source, ASCII text
 

By the way, in both archives the top level directory is named “STM32Cube_FW_G0_V1.6.0” albeit the file name says 1.6.2 or 1.6.3, not 1.6.0.

This behavior is not new. The actual version of the cube package is in the package.xml file in the root dir.

To clarify: It is STM32CubeMX that downloads and uses these archives, not me. I just looked into them to find the root cause for CR/LF changing to LF in my projects after regenerating with CubeMX.
