Compliant Solution

This compliant solution is fully portable.

Code Block
bgColor#ccccff
char *tmpvar;
char *tempvar;
char *temp;

if ( (temp = getenv("TMP")) != NULL) {
  tmpvar = (char *)malloc(strlen(temp)+1);
  if (tmpvar != NULL) {
    strcpy(tmpvar, temp);
  }
  else {
    /* handle error condition */
  }
}
else {
  return -1;
}

if ( (temp = getenv("TEMP")) != NULL) {
  tempvar = (char *)malloc(strlen(temp)+1);
  if (tempvar != NULL) {
    strcpy(tempvar, temp);
  }
  else {
    free(tmpvar);
    tmpvar = NULL;
    /* handle error condition */
  }
}
else {
  free(tmpvar);
  tmpvar = NULL;
  return -1;
}

if (strcmp(tmpvar, tempvar) == 0) {
  puts("TMP and TEMP are the same.\n");
}
else {
  puts("TMP and TEMP are NOT the same.\n");
}
free(tmpvar);
tmpvar = NULL;
free(tempvar);
tempvar = NULL;

Risk Assessment

Storing the pointer to the string returned by getenv() can result in overwritten environmental data.
