Description
The original implementation of boost::property_tree::ini_parser does ignore comments when reading, therefore they are also deleted when writing back the Contents of a boost::property_tree.
For us this behaviour was not very desirable, as we cannot comment our ini files properly then.
Therefore I implemented an alternative Version of boost::property_tree::ini_parser that reads comments into special entries in the boost::property_tree and then uses these entries when writing an INI file to reconstruct the comments. I think the boost library (and other users) might well Profit from such functions and they can easily be provided alongside the already available functions as an alternative.
I'm attaching my Version of the ini_parser and hope you can incorporate it into the next Releases of boost.
Best, JAN Krieger (Deidelberger Druckmaschinen AG)
