extra linebreaks are inserted randomly in verified code

[prestwich]

Verified code is here

Many extra line breaks are inserted throughout the verified code. Particularly between logical blocks

Hmm yeah that's odd indeed. I'm thinking this might have something to do with sol-merger, which is the dependency that truffle-plugin-verify uses to flatten contract code. Any thoughts, @RyuuGan?

[RyuuGan]

@rkalis, @prestwich They are not randomly. Before there were comments, but since 1.0.0 comments are removed but instead empty lines are in their place.

[rkalis]

Ah that explains it. Is the deletion of comments intentional? If so, what's the rationale behind it?

[prestwich]

why delete the text but leave the linebreak?

[RyuuGan]

@rkalis Deletion of comments was intentional, because I didn't want to write parser for comments.

@prestwich I use library that deletes comments, and it behaves likes like this. It removes only comments but blank lines with the spaces are left.

[prestwich]

Okay, I will see if I can address this in the underlying library

[rkalis]

@RyuuGan added functionality to preserve comments in flattened code, which I enabled in truffle-plugin-verify@0.3.8. When using this version, all comments are preserved, and no random line breaks are inserted.
