I am attempting to use the Glib::KeyFile in my application. It actually
worked and the key values were extracted just as I expected. I wanted
to experiment so I copied my test app to another folder. I tampered and
then ran but it crashed with
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I realized that I had forgotten to copy the key file so I copied that to
the new test directory and then the program ran. I got a bit curious about
this so I looked at the glibmm reference for Glib::KeyFile::load_from_file
where it said that it would return false if the file could not be loaded.
I trimmed it down to a very simple gtkmm app that does nothing but create
an instance of KeyFile and call load_from_file. Still I found that the
program would die if the key file is not present. It is possible that I
am not understanding the reference material but I expect that the function
would just return false if the file is not present. In my example that
I have included, I expect to just get the cout output
file_success=0
Is this not correct? Is there a bug in Glib::KeyFile?
