Hi: If I have defined: boost::property_tree::ptree IniTree; What is the correct way to determine how many sections there are in an ini file. Should I use count, max_size, m_children or size?

m_children is private. count() takes an argument. max_size(), according to the Container concept, returns how many elements (children, in the case of ptree) there could possibly be. size() returns how many there are. size() is the right answer. Sebastian
