oelint.spaces.linecont

severity: error

Example

A = "\<space>
 1 \
 2 \
"

Why is this bad?

Space(s) after the line continuation character \ should be avoided. They do not add value and have been an illegal syntax in some versions of bitbake.

Ways to fix it

Remove all spaces after the line continuation character \

A = "\
 1 \
 2 \
"
