Add the environment variables of the child process directly using strvec_push() instead of building an array out of them and then adding that using strvec_pushv(). The new code is shorter and avoids magic array index values and fragile array padding. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <redacted>
I don't know whether this may cause more allocations. But even if it did, it would very much feel like a micro-optimization that is not worth it in the end given that we're about to spawn a new process anyway, which is way more expensive. So favoring readability/maintainability very much feels like the right thing to do here, and the result looks good to me. Thanks! Patrick
