A line of the form "Name=" with nothing after the sign is not strictly legal, but it occurs in real exports - the part marker's WJPRT.reg has KRelay1 like this. The parser raised on it, which failed the whole file, which meant that machine could never be backed up at all. Read it as an empty string so the value name is still preserved.

"""NTLARS / DNC registry backup codec.
|
|
|
|
Converts between Windows .reg files and a dialect-neutral JSON projection.
|
|
|
|
WHY DIALECT-NEUTRAL: NTLARS is a 32-bit app, so its settings physically live
|
|
under HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\GE Aircraft Engines\\DNC. But NTLARS's own
|
|
Save... button exports them WITHOUT the WOW6432Node segment (it writes the path
|
|
it asks for, before the WOW64 redirector rewrites it). Both dialects therefore
|
|
exist in the wild:
|
|
|
|
NTLARS Save... output HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\GE Aircraft Engines\\DNC
|
|
scripted / reg export HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\GE Aircraft Engines\\DNC
|
|
|
|
Parsing strips whichever root matched and stores subkeys RELATIVE to it, so the
|
|
stored revision commits to neither. render() then re-attaches whichever root the
|
|
consumer needs:
|
|
|
|
dialect='ntlars' no WOW6432Node - what the NTLARS Load... button expects
|
|
dialect='wow6432node' explicit - what `reg import` needs on a 64-bit box
|
|
|
|
Getting this backwards is silent: a reg import of the NTLARS dialect on 64-bit
|
|
writes to the 64-bit hive, where NTLARS will never look, and reports success.
|
|
|
|
CANONICAL ORDERING: keys and value names are sorted on parse. MySQL's JSON type
|
|
normalizes object key order anyway, so preserving source order is not possible
|
|
end-to-end; sorting makes it deterministic instead, which is what makes diffs
|
|
between revisions stable. Re-rendered files are semantically identical to their
|
|
source, not byte-identical.
