When $HOME is unset, home_config_paths fails and returns NULL pointers for user_config and xdg_config. Valgrind complains with Syscall param access(pathname) points to unaddressable byte(s). Don't call blindly access() on these variables, but test them for NULL-ness before. Signed-off-by: Matthieu Moy <Matthieu.Moy@xxxxxxx> --- > This patch causes valgrind warnings in t1300.81 (get --path copes with > unset $HOME) about passing NULL to access(): Indeed.
