the compiler said that i must put a newline character(return) at the end of
every line of my code.

the Q is:
is this a programming requirement or is it compiler specified requirement?

It's more like a compiler specific "requirement" (it's just a warning). I would really like to know why it likes it that way :)

That's why I added the feature in CVS  8)

It's not only a compiler specific "requeriment", it's the way ALMOST ALL Linux/Unix utilities expect a text file.
So as a general rule you must always put a newline character when editing any text file (not only .cpp)

And it is part of the ISO standard for C and C++.
Although gcc has no problems with it, some old preprocessors would mess up under certain circumstances (#include following a file that has no line end).

And it is a warning because, under certain circumstances, it could lead to a compiler error.

Be patient!
This bug will be fixed soon...
