[Sbcl-help] [Q] getenv behavior

[Didier V. <di...@lr...>]

  Hi, two questions about getenv:

1/ should I use sb-posix:getenv or sb-ext:posix-getenv ?

2/ also, getenv seems to behave differently on Mac and on Linux
   (probably because of differences at a the OS level):
 
   (getenv nil) used to return nil which I kinda liked, but now on Linux
   (1.0.39.15, although I can't tell exactly when it started) it throws
   an error (see below). Is this intentional ? On my Mac on the other
   hand, with 1.0.39.9, it still returns nil.


Thanks a lot !
