YAML Emitter using YAML::DoubleQuoted when emitted in a destructor of a staticly created struct/class
Krausler opened this issue · comments
What steps will reproduce the problem?
-
Create a struct/class containing a destructor and a function to serialize an arbitrary type of data, with the destructor calling the serialization function.
-
Create a static instance of that class and call the serilization function at least once.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expected output would be to see the serialized data, as many times as requested, beeing exactly the same, however, the last time the yaml string is printed, all keys, as well as all strings, are wrapped in double quotes.
Example
struct EmitterTest
{
~EmitterTest()
{
Serialize();
}
void Serialize()
{
YAML::Emitter out;
out << YAML::BeginMap << YAML::Key << "Test";
out << YAML::BeginMap;
out << YAML::Key << "String1" << YAML::Value << "String1";
out << YAML::Key << "String2" << YAML::Value << "String2";
out << YAML::Key << "String3" << YAML::Value << "Foo";
out << YAML::EndMap;
out << YAML::EndMap;
std::cout << out.c_str() << std::endl;
}
}
static EmitterTest s_Test;
int main()
{
s_Test.Serialize();
}
Expected output:
Test:
String1: String1
String2: String2
String3: Foo
Test:
String1: String1
String2: String2
String3: Foo
Actual output:
Test:
String1: String1
String2: String2
String3: Foo
"Test":
"String1": "String1"
"String2": "String2"
"String3": "Foo"

Additional Information
Note that this only happens when Serialize() is called once before destruction. Digging into the problem makes the problem pretty obvious: In emitter.h the function YAML::Emitter::Write(const std::string&) queries the StringFormat::value, by trying to match the string with a regex. This regex match returns false in the serialization called in the destructor, otherwise it returns true.
