Hi,

this change is wrong. The MSDN library says:

If the function succeeds, the return value is the number of TCHARs
stored into the buffer pointed to by /lpBuffer/, not including the
terminating null character.

Please revert your change.

I do not mean the size mismatch. On success the function has to return
the number of character not including the terminating null character.
Currently, the function returns the number of character + 1.

Oh that, i didn't check for that when I told him the changes were
incorrect, I just fixed it in rev. 16536

Hi
Harmurt
I have test the GetEnvironmentVariable it return number of chater.

Our  GetEnvironmentVariable  did count 1 char as zero and so on.
it did miss calcutaion by 1. instead geting 9 char it did only get 8 char.

This bug was expode by reactos cmd.
and we do not have any bug to getting env there, in windows. When you did
type echo %windir% it did print C:\ReactO before my bug fix. it should print
C:\ReactOS

I cannot reproduce this bug. But I've found a bug in cmd.c which may eat
up the last character of an environment variable.

Hi
W3seek have alrady fix that bug in kernel32/misc/env.c
we did not handler some case right. We did have long talk on the irc yestday
about this problem. with lates commit from w3seek. it can not be reprodues any
more. The code change you did in cmd are making the cmd bit faster, instead for
for calling reaclloc the buffer  1times it only calls when it need. But if
%param% fails it must print %param% I do not know if we are doing that yet.
I have not test all case yet.
