Jani, this wasn't broken by any of the re2c stuff.

The changes you made to zend_ini_scanner.l revision 1.48 are the cause.

More like undocumented feature then. Nothing at
http://www.php.net/parse_ini_file says that * cannot be used inside
keys. So we are using it in a few in-house applications and this came as
unpleasant surprise.

We can of course implement a different solution, if you really consider
the current (5.2) behaviour bug.

In which case it would be nice to have a better explanation in
parse_ini_file documentation with regard to what is considered a valid
syntax and what not.

Why should it like it? That looks like a bug that got fixed by the 
new parser.

Description:
------------
parse_ini_file no longer likes * (asterisk) in configuration keys.

Works just fine in PHP 5.2.5


Reproduce code:
---------------
Ini file with the following content:
[section]
part1.*.part2 = 1

PHP file:
<?php
parse_ini_file('test.ini');



Expected result:
----------------
ini file being parsed without any error messages


Actual result:
--------------
Warning: syntax error, unexpected '*' in test.ini on line 2
 in test.php on line 2
