I'm surprised C++ would have anything to say about getenv; mostly it just includes the standard C library via normative reference.

Interesting. So in a multi-threaded C++ program that only calls the std:: getenv function, everything is fine.

If anything calls the C getenv function, like a third party library, things are maybe not fine.
