[GRASS-dev] Re: [GRASS-user] Problems with v.outlier and v.lidar.edgedetection

[Roberto Antolin]

Hi all,
I allways use this "\" to break a long code line into two or more parts. 
I think that, in this way, the code is more readable. I've never had any 
problem with that and I didn't know it was no neccesary with gcc. But, 
could some body tell me if there are compilation problems with that? In 
that case, I have to clean it.

Regards,
Roberto.
