Rejects definition of parent of table array #211
Description
Toml11 rejects the following valid TOML document:
[[a.b]]
x = 1
[a]
y = 2
It prints the following error message:
what(): [error] toml::insert_value: table ("a") already exists.
--> ../toml-test/tests/valid/table/array-implicit-and-explicit-after.toml
|
1 | [[a.b]]
| ~~~~~~~ table already exists here
...
4 | [a]
| ~~~ table defined twice
This applies to the latest release (v3.7.1) as well as the current master branch 22db720 .
The rejected TOML document is similar to the following valid example from the TOML 1.0.0 spec:
[x.y.z.w]
[x] # defining a super-table afterward is ok
The difference is that this example implicitly creates table x through a table definition, while the rejected document implicitly creates table a through a table-array definition. However this should not mattter. In either case, the parent table should exist as an implicit table, and a subsequent explicit definition should be allowed.
