comparison src/projectm-1.0/ConfigFile.h @ 2136:9bdb5aba5e00

Backed out changeset 3bbb2673419b I've decided to put the projectM 1.x plugin back for now.

// Typical usage
// -------------
// 
// Given a configuration file "settings.inp":
//   atoms  = 25
//   length = 8.0  # nanometers
//   name = Reece Surcher
// 
// Named values are read in various ways, with or without default values:
//   ConfigFile config( "settings.inp" );
//   int atoms = config.read<int>( "atoms" );
//   double length = config.read( "length", 10.0 );
//   string author, title;
//   config.readInto( author, "name" );
//   config.readInto( title, "title", string("Untitled") );
// 
// See file example.cpp for more examples.

// Release notes:
// v1.0  21 May 1999
//   + First release
//   + Template read() access only through non-member readConfigFile()
//   + ConfigurationFileBool is only built-in helper class
// 
// v2.0  3 May 2002
//   + Shortened name from ConfigurationFile to ConfigFile
//   + Implemented template member functions
//   + Changed default comment separator from % to #
//   + Enabled reading of multiple-line values
// 
// v2.1  24 May 2004
//   + Made template specializations inline to avoid compiler-dependent linkage
//   + Allowed comments within multiple-line values
//   + Enabled blank line termination for multiple-line values
//   + Added optional sentry to detect end of configuration file
//   + Rewrote messy trimWhitespace() function as elegant trim()
