Re: [suse-programming-e] looping through **environ?

The ADDRESS environ is represented by four bytes on your architecture. So sizeof(environ)==4, which explains your observation of only four iterations of the loop.

To loop through the environ variables correctly, you should use something like for (i=0; environ[i]!=NULL; ++i) {...}

Ok, I think I get it. The example in Ellis & Stroustrup refers to an _array_ **environ is simply a pointer to a pointer to char. Thanks for the help. That seems to have worked. I can tell it's going to be 'interesting' learning to work with QT. STH
