how to identify list's setting and group's setting?

[nickhuangxinyu]

I think list's element setting and group's element setting are different.

for example:

list = (1,2,3);
group = {
 a = "asd";
 b = 1;
};

libconfig::Setting& list = cfg.lookup("list");
libconfig::Setting& group = cfg.lookup("group");

for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); ++i) {
  libconfig::Setting& s = list[i];
  cout << s.getName();  // list's element dont have getName()
}

for (int i = 0; i < group.getLength(); ++i) {
  libconfig::Setting& s = group[i];
  cout << s.getName();  // group's element have Name.
}

I found many function, isScalar and ...

is there any is function to identify list and group's element?
