| Summary | 0000039: restore_value should complain more | ||||
| Description | restore_value should complain more about weird save strings. Code: ---- 8< ---- restore_value(save_value(0)+"foobar") ---- 8< ---- In my opinion, this should raise an error. However, restore_value seems to simply stop parsing at the end of the actual save_value string and ignores the rest. We had an object that saved save_value strings on disk using write_file(). However, that object forgot to delete the old savefiles, thus appending each new save to the old file, so that in the end the file looked like this: ---- 8< ---- 0000001:0 value1 0000001:0 value2 ... 0000001:0 valueN ---- 8< ---- with value1 being the oldest and valueN being the newest value. restore_value(read_file(file)) did always work, it never raised an error, thus this error went undetected for a long time :-) Hopefully there are no MUDs using this appending stuff to a valuestring as a feature... | ||||
