Xml nullkey #93

Open brchrisman opened 3 years ago

brchrisman commented 3 years ago

Got back to tracking down this type issue of char vs wchar_t. Patch doesn't cast unless a null key is found.

@brchrisman, could you please provide some background on this? What issue is it designed to address?

A property-tree with nulls as keys serializes to broken XML (having null tag names like <>foo</>). This patch places a nonce in there that is placed in serialize and elided in unserialize.
