.ini file read error for Windows Visual Studio users

[200km]

Details

Description

The following descriptions in the ini files cause problems for Windows Visual Studio users. In this case, the ini file reader cannot recognize the // as the comment delimiter, and the setting parameter is handled as STRING_VALUE // Comment, not STRING_VALUE.

string_parameter = STRING_VALUE // Comment

Windows users can fix this problem by changing the ini file without // Comment.

string_parameter = STRING_VALUE

or write a comment in another line

// Comment
string_parameter = STRING_VALUE

Conditions of occurrence

Windows Visual Studio users.

Additional information

• The standard ini file specification uses the ; as the comment delimiter, not //.
• However, the S2E defines the // as the comment delimiter in ini files.
  • It is defined in CodingConvention
• The number with // Comment works for all users

Tasks

• Fix codes to correctly handle the comment delimiter // in the Windows environment
• Or discuss to change the specification of the comment delimiter definition.

Impact

Windows user only.
