Bruno Haible ce700d8c 2010-12-19T18:08:03 setenv: Add missing declaration on OSF/1 5.1. * lib/stdlib.in.h (setenv): Test HAVE_DECL_SETENV, not HAVE_SETENV. * m4/setenv.m4 (gl_FUNC_SETENV_SEPARATE): Test whether setenv is declared. Don't set HAVE_SETENV. * m4/stdlib_h.m4 (gl_STDLIB_H_DEFAULTS): Initialize HAVE_DECL_SETENV, not HAVE_SETENV. * modules/stdlib (Makefile.am): Substitute HAVE_DECL_SETENV, not HAVE_SETENV. * doc/posix-functions/setenv.texi: Mention the OSF/1 5.1 problem.

Eric Blake 91e21656 2009-12-10T12:18:31 setenv: relax requirement in light of POSIX ruling Requiring that {un,}setenv gracefully reject NULL is just a waste of processing power; POSIX agreed to this argument in http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=185 so we no longer worry whether a native implementation handles NULL. * m4/setenv.m4 (gl_FUNC_SETENV_SEPARATE): Test handling of "" but not NULL. * tests/test-setenv.c (main): Relax test. * tests/test-unsetenv.c (main): Likewise. * doc/posix-functions/setenv.texi (setenv): Document this. * doc/posix-functions/unsetenv.texi (unsetenv): Likewise.

Eric Blake 8dffeb6f 2009-11-14T22:13:10 setenv, unsetenv: work around various bugs POSIX requires setenv(NULL,"",0), setenv("a=b","",0), unsetenv(NULL), and unsetenv("a=b") to fail with EINVAL, but many BSD implementations lack validation. The gnulib replacement for void unsetenv did not do validation, and the replacement for setenv was out of sync with glibc. Also, some BSD implementations of setenv("a","==",1) eat the leading '='. See also some recent Austin Group interpretations on environ: http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=167 http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=185 * lib/setenv.c (setenv) [!HAVE_SETENV]: Resync from glibc. (setenv) [HAVE_SETENV]: Work around bugs. * lib/unsetenv.c (unsetenv) [HAVE_UNSETENV]: Work around bugs. * m4/setenv.m4 (gl_FUNC_SETENV_SEPARATE, gl_FUNC_UNSETENV): Check for bugs. (gl_FUNC_SETENV): Write in terms of gl_FUNC_SETENV_SEPARATE. * m4/environ.m4 (gl_ENVIRON): Avoid expand-before-require. * m4/stdlib_h.m4 (gl_STDLIB_H_DEFAULTS): Update defaults. * modules/stdlib (Makefile.am): Update substitutions. * lib/stdlib.in.h (setenv, unsetenv): Update prototypes. * doc/posix-functions/setenv.texi (setenv): Document the bugs. * doc/posix-functions/unsetenv.texi (unsetenv): Likewise. * modules/setenv-tests: New test. * modules/unsetenv-tests: Likewise. * tests/test-setenv.c: New file. * tests/test-unsetenv.c: Likewise.
