Use the clang RemoveCStrCalls tool to automatically migrate the
code. This was only run on linux, so does not have any positive or
negative effect on other platforms.
Commit "KWSys: Fix SystemTools environment memory handling" (2012-04-26)
added a _WIN32 case inside !KWSYS_CXX_HAS_ENVIRON_IN_STDLIB_H to dllimport
the "environ" global. Howver, KWSYS_CXX_HAS_ENVIRON_IN_STDLIB_H is true
on every Windows toolchain we support so the case is never reached.
Furthermore, even if it were reached the use of dllimport is incorrect
because the toolchain might not be compiling with a dynamic runtime
library. Remove the unused incorrect line and supporting conditionals.
The SystemTools::PutEnv function tries to provide the "putenv" API
without leaking memory. However, the kwsysDeletingCharVector singleton
frees memory that may still be referenced by the environment table,
having been placed there by putenv. If any static destruction or
processing by an external tool happens after the singleton is destroyed
and accesses the environment it will read invalid memory.
Replace use of putenv with setenv/unsetenv when available. The latter
manage internal copies of the values passed instead of referencing the
original memory. When setenv/unsetenv are not available use putenv with
a singleton that removes its values from the environment before freeing
their memory. This requires an "unputenv" implementation. On at least
some platforms it must be written in terms of "putenv" because other
APIs are not available and direct modification of the "environ" global
is not safe (e.g. on Windows there is interaction with "wenviron").
Fortunately either putenv("A=") or putenv("A") will remove "A" from the
environment on these platforms. On other platforms fall back to direct
manipulation of "environ".
Also add UnPutEnv to the API and add a test for the behavior of both.
Fix a crash which occurs when SystemTools::GetPath attempts to process
an empty environment variable.
