That said, in this particular case I would just use a hardcoded "HOME" in both getenv and setenv for simplicity, but I'm not a kdelibs developer.</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">insert string "HOME" directly is not good idea (in general) because optimalizator is forced (by C/C++ standard) to allocate two strings in memory (even if they are identical).
the mous used construction is
const char home[] = "HOME";</pre>

<pre style="white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">I would appreciate a citation here. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/690176/c-c-optimization-of-pointers-to-string-constants disagrees with what you're claiming, and contains an example to make a point.</pre>
