From df599e9612788b728ce43a03159b85f1fe624d6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Sixt Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 09:08:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Windows: teach getenv to do a case-sensitive search getenv() on Windows looks up environment variables in a case-insensitive manner. Even though all documentations claim that the environment is case-insensitive, it is possible for applications to pass an environment to child processes that has variables that differ only in case. Bash on Windows does this, for example, and sh-i18n--envsubst depends on this behavior. With this patch environment variables are first looked up in a case-sensitive manner; only if this finds nothing, the system's getenv() is used as a fallback.
