Can not handle byte order mark at beginning of UTF-8 text files

[knivil]

Assertion in debug mode on Visual Studio 2019 if ini files contains BOM like EF BB BF at the beginning (function ltrim). Works if BOM is removed manually.

Calling code:

std::ifstream file{ "hello.ini" };
tortellini::ini dict;
file >> dict;

Indeed. I've never used them myself, so if you'd like to contribute a fix then it'd be appreciated.

The non-wide BOM check here seems to be sufficient, if you'd like to PR:
