Description

The current ValidationPolicyConfig throws an exception when loading empty config section. A better behavior would be:

  • allow loading an empty config file/section without throwing
  • fail any validation attempts when the configuration is empty

I did not observe the second part of the behavior described above ("allows any validation"). @Teng, can you explain how to reproduce that?

The test case in https://gerrit.named-data.net/c/NFD/+/5776/12/tests/daemon/mgmt/rib-manager-sl-announce.t.cpp#182, the validation should fail but succeed.

I still cannot reproduce (after applying the ndn-cxx patch of course, there's no way to test without it). Test cases behave as expected.
