The documentation for Predef.println (or Console.println) states:
Prints out an object to the default output, followed by a newline character.
But it looks like the default output is java.lang.System.out and that Predef.println uses out.println, which states:
The line separator string is defined by the system property
line.separator, and is not necessarily a single newline character ('\n').
So, which is it?
system property
line.separator, and is not necessarily a single newline character ('\n').
This is the important part - on normal systems that’s \n by default, but on Windows that’s \r\n digraph.
Since both Console.withOut and System.setOut allow to set a custom PrintStream the final result depends on the implementation of non-final PrintStream instance, since PrintStream.println is not a final method.
I understand that, but isn’t the documentation on the Scala side a bit misleading? Maybe it should say: “followed by a line separator”?
