#8836: boost::property_tree and BOM
--------------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter: nikita.trophimov@… | Owner: cornedbee
     Type: Bugs | Status: new
Milestone: To Be Determined | Component: property_tree
  Version: Boost 1.54.0 | Severity: Problem
 Keywords: property_tree |
--------------------------------+---------------------------
 boost::property_tree::ptree can't handle files with BOM (at least for
 UTF-8).

 {{{
 #include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
 #include <boost/property_tree/ini_parser.hpp>

 #include <cstdlib>
 #include <iostream>

 int main()
 {
     try
     {
         boost::filesystem::path path("helper.ini");
         boost::property_tree::ptree pt;
         boost::property_tree::read_ini(path.string(), pt);
         const std::string foo = pt.get<std::string>("foo");
         std::cout << foo << '\n';
     }
     catch (const boost::property_tree::ini_parser_error& e)
     {
         std::cerr << "An error occurred while reading config file: " <<
 e.what() << '\n';
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
     catch (const boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_data& e)
     {
         std::cerr << "An error occurred while getting options from config
 file: " << e.what() << '\n';
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
     catch (const boost::property_tree::ptree_bad_path& e)
     {
         std::cerr << "An error occurred while getting options from config
 file: " << e.what() << '\n';
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
     catch (...)
     {
         std::cerr << "Unknown error \n";
         return EXIT_FAILURE;
     }
 }
 }}}

 '''helper.ini'''

 foo=str

 '''Output'''

 An error occurred while getting options from config file: No such node
 (foo)
