alsa-project/alsa-lib issue #151 was opened from aiChaoSONG:
When parsing array element in conf files, an auto-increase number is used as config id(`snd_config_t->id`), and array element as the config value(`snd_config_t->u.string/integer/integer64/real`), duplication is not handle in `parse_array_defs/parse_array_def/parse_value` functions.
Suppose we have a conf:
```
array [
"a"
"b"
"a"
]
```
the parsed result will be:
```
parent
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "0", u.string: "a"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "1", u.string: "b"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "2", u.string: "a"}
```
The duplication in "a" may be desired. But please consider this condition: suppose we have four conf files A, B, C and D, where A
is the conf above, let B include A, C include A, D include B and C, so D include A twice indirectly. File A will be processed twice when parsing D, because duplication is not handled, here comes the problem, the parsed result of A in D is:
```
parent
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "0", u.string: "a"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "1", u.string: "b"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "2", u.string: "a"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "3", u.string: "a"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "4", u.string: "b"}
|
---- snd_config_t {id: "5", u.string: "a"}
```
This is obviously wrong.
I think handle duplication in parse_value is not the solution, because element duplication in an array is wanted. The key problem here is that we parse the same conf more than once.
