Boost C++ Libraries: Ticket #9789: Consistent comment support for INI files https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9789 <p> See ticket <a class="closed ticket" href="https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/5379" title="#5379: Feature Requests: Support '#' comments in property_tree ini parser (closed: fixed)">#5379</a> - semicolon was supported but hash was not in property tree ini parser, hash was added as a result of that ticket. </p> <p> I am presently dealing with program options. In config_file.cpp, only hash is supported. </p> <p> Please can semicolon be added for consistency within boost as well as other applications. </p> <p> For example, PHP only supports semicolon (they have dropped support for hash which I am given to understand was always the lesser used character for commenting INI files). Many applications do not support hash. </p> en-us Boost C++ Libraries /htdocs/site/boost.png https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9789 Trac 1.4.3 Vladimir Prus Tue, 18 Mar 2014 14:14:08 GMT <link>https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9789#comment:1 </link> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://svn.boost.org/trac10/ticket/9789#comment:1</guid> <description> <p> Patches wold be welcome.
