Hello all,
I posted previously a patch to wine-patches here:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-patches/2006-December/034022.html
However, I now understand that although it solves the issue I had with the specific program, the change is incomplete, since in several other places, sections and keys are only considered meaningful when not equal to the empty string. In the Microsoft implementation, the unnamed section is valid, as are zero length keys.
Thus, I think a broader scope change is required. Before I start working on a new patch, do you acknowledge that the current implementation is incorrect, and a patch fixing it by not requiring name[0] to be != '\0' is likely to be accepted? (btw, I've noticed you switched to git, so I will be using that instead now).
Thanks,
Claudio Fontana
