I triggered a similar discussion several moths ago (in this list), as I find
that the current implementation is incorrect ...
Even at that time most people agreed. Unfortunately my solution was to give
KDE a newer config file parser. Reason: the old code was difficult to
maintain and had some shortcommings. At the same time I wanted to give the
new parser the ability to handle native Windows text files (including their
CR/LF line endings and BOMs [byte order marks] for UTF-8). I also planned a
"hook" that would allow to plug XML Readers/Writers into this architecture.
At that time some people claimed that my aproach would become too slow and
that if it can read Windows text files that would not be a good idea and that
BOMs would be bad anyhow as KDE must not support anything that comes from
Windows.
Fact is that I have the nucleus of the parser and it definitely faster than
the current one (it's a zero-malloc implementation). Is the objection against
a new parser still so big or should I try again to contribute this work into
KDE?
