Why {} here but on separate lines for the destructor and for the other class? Be
consistent.

[tommycli, 2013/06/17 19:49:24]

Done.

+INIParser::~INIParser() {
+}
+
+void INIParser::Parse(const std::string& content) {
+  // Reads the whole INI file.
+  base::StringTokenizer tokenizer(content, "\r\n");
+
+  // Parses the file.
+  std::string current_section;
+  while (tokenizer.GetNext()) {
+    std::string line = tokenizer.token();
+    if (line.empty()) {
+      // Skips the empty line.
+      continue;
+    }
+    if (line[0] == '#' || line[0] == ';') {
+      // This line is a comment.
+      continue;
+    }
+    if (line[0] == '[') {
+      // It is a section header.
+      current_section = line.substr(1);
+      size_t end = current_section.rfind(']');

This just silently throws away any data after the ']'?

[tommycli, 2013/06/17 19:49:24]

Yes. Noted in comment in header.

+      std::string key, value;
+      size_t equal = line.find('=');
+      if (equal != std::string::npos) {

+        value = line.substr(equal + 1);

I don’t believe this comment. There’s a whole suite of *WithoutPathExpansion
functions that don’t treat dots specially. See base/values.h.

[tommycli, 2013/06/17 19:49:24]

I'm not certain why it was implemented this way in the Firefox importer. I
believe they wanted a "section.key" path for the DictionaryValue, in which case
calling the *WithoutPathExpansion methods wouldn't work anymore.

I added an explanatory comment in the header file.

+  // so we discard them.
+  if (section.find('.') == std::string::npos &&
+      key.find('.') == std::string::npos)
+    root_.SetString(section + "." + key, value);
+}
+
+}  // namespace base
