I was thinking that just removing the if (!*var) statement from your
code, leaving:
char *var = getenv("HOME");
if (var) {
mypath = mh_xstrdup(var);
return;
}
errno = 0;
struct passwd *pw = getpwuid(getuid());
if (!pw) {
if (errno)
adios("", "getpwuid() failed"); /* "" prints errno! */
die("password entry not found");
}
if (!*pw->pw_dir)
die("password entry has empty home directory");
mypath = mh_xstrdup(pw->pw_dir);
is the same as the 1.7 code (ignoring the string copies):
if ((mypath = getenv("HOME")) == NULL) {
if ((pw = getpwuid(getuid())) == NULL || *pw->pw_dir == '\0')
adios(NULL, "cannot determine your home directory");
else
mypath = pw->pw_dir;
}
What case am I missing?
