Hi,

In Boost.PropertyTree, INFO format has the nice #include directive. But it seems you cannot include other formats. Typically such INFO file,

key { #include_xml "my.xml" }

with "my.xml" :<root><child>kid</child></root>

could give : get<std::string> ("key.root.child") == "kid"

A very quick look at info parser makes me think that it would be easy to implement. Any comment ?

This is a strange request. What is your use case?

Thanks for your answer and sorry for the delay. Some part of my configuration are XML files given by third parties and, being particularly lazy, I did not want to write the few lines needed to handle the indirection. :-)

I'm rather disinclined to implement it, since it would create cross-dependencies between the various parsers.

Yeah, I kind of exspected this answer. It probably makes sense. Regards, Ivan
