[PATCH] tools/nolibc/stdlib: fix getenv() with empty environment

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The environ pointer itself is never NULL, this is guaranteed by crt.h.
However if the environment is empty, environ will point to a NULL
pointer.
While this case will be checked by the loop later, this only happens
after the first loop iteration.
To avoid reading invalid memory inside the loop, fix the test that
checks for an empty environment.
