[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #61393] [octave forge] (sparsersb) Crash while "pkg test sparsersb"

[dezperado]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #61393 (project octave):

WRT setenv & putenv.
In librsb: since librsb-1.3.0.2, if setenv() is absent, putenv shall do the
job;
without it, librsb shall build and work, too.

A note on the putenv example https://hg.octave.org/mxe-octave/rev/86edd6018826

linked from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?61393#comment8 : at least
on my Linux'
`man putenv`, it says the strings one passes will be used also *after* the
call.
So using a local temporary (buf) like in that snip is not good; instead
using `setenv(strdup(..))` would introduce a small innocent leak which is fine
in this context
at least until librsb-1.3.0.2 (which is almost ready).
Alternatively, your purposes of MXE-Octave for librsb-1.3.0.1 (current) and
earlier, is perfectly 
fine to `#define setenv(X) 0` -- setenv is not used in the library: just from
some arcane
tests. So in short, maybe don't do anything more than you did on this :-)
