Is CR considered whitespace? I always thought that was classed as a non-printable control character. But maybe I’m wrong?
Or are you talking about SP preceding CR and/or LF?

Line breaks are considered whitespace, hence CR is considered whitespace. It is also a control character. This is similar to TAB, or indeed LF.
See here for example: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/string/byte/isspace
Or here for Unicode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character#Unicode
Ahh that makes sense then.
Thanks for the responses
