Newline at the end of file

[Morph]

I'm using mingw and it's warning me about not having a newline at the end . Why do I need a newline at the end ? Is that line is an eof line ?

It's a more or less arbitrary rule in the C++ standard.

Some *nix shells don't add that newline, which results on one ugly line. That might be part of where that standard came from.
