Re: [Confuse-devel] libconfuse 2.5 and CFGF_MULTI

[Martin Hedenfalk]

No, you must use a string list. The CFGF_MULTI flag only applies to 
sections.

If you define stringproperty as a string list, you can use the += syntax:

section "test" {
  stringproperty = "this"
  stringproperty += "that"
  stringproperty += "other"
}

The first occurance of stringproperty = "this" will overwrite any 
default value and set the string list to one element ("this"). The other 
assignment will add the values to the string list, resulting in a 
cfg_size() of 3.
