Issue of the Implementation # D0025

Brief

The "g_key_file_get_comment" interface returns comment with unexpected new line symbol at the end

Detailed Description

Invocation of the interface g_key_file_get_comment returns comment with added new line symbol at the end. This is caused by inner function "g_key_file_parse_value_as_comment" which adds '\n' symbol at the end of the comment.

{
    GKeyFile *gkf=NULL;

    gkf=g_key_file_new();
    g_key_file_load_from_data(gkf, textComment, strlen(textComment),
    	G_KEY_FILE_KEEP_COMMENTS, NULL);
    cmnt=g_key_file_get_comment(gkf, NULL, NULL, NULL);
