Is boost::property_tree::ptree can't handle files which use UTF-8 with BOM?
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
#include <boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
try
{
boost::filesystem::path path("helper.ini");
boost::property_tree::ptree pt;
boost::property_tree::read_ini(path.string(), pt);
const std::string foo = pt.get<std::string>("foo");
std::cout << foo << '\n';
}
catch (const boost::property_tree::ini_parser_error& e)
{
std::cerr << "An error occurred while reading config file: " << e.what() << '\n';
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
catch (const boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_data& e)
{
std::cerr << "An error occurred while getting options from config file: " << e.what() << '\n';
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
catch (const boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_path& e)
{
std::cerr << "An error occurred while getting options from config file: " << e.what() << '\n';
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
catch (...)
{
std::cerr << "Unknown error \n";
return EXIT_FAILURE;
}
}
helper.ini
foo=str
Output
An error occurred while getting options from config file: No such node (foo)
What can i do with it? Manually delete BOM from file bedore reading it?
boost 1.53
I'm using this to skip BOM characters:
boost::property_tree::ptree pt;
std::ifstream file("file.ini", std::ios::in);
if (file.is_open())
{
//skip BOM
unsigned char buffer[8];
buffer[0] = 255;
while (file.good() && buffer[0] > 127)
file.read((char *)buffer, 1);
std::fpos_t pos = file.tellg();
if (pos > 0)
file.seekg(pos - 1);
//parse rest stream
boost::property_tree::ini_parser::read_ini(file, pt);
file.close();
}
Yes, easiest option would be to just check if the file starts with BOM and remove it.
You can file a bug against boost (probably should)
You could use boost::iosteams filters to remove BOM from the input stream whenever its found:
