Hello all,

Looking for some clarification regarding quoting and !#defenv .  I understand that the example below fails because the environmental variable HOME is not quoted, thus when used in the xlog() call it fails.  How is it possible to evaluate and/or use the value of the environmental variable if defined as a preprocessor variable?  Looking at the documentation the reason for this directive is “It is a simplified alternative of using #!substdef with $env(NAME) in the replacement part.” But #!substdef would allow setting the value inside of a quoted string, so does it really meet that requirement?

I’m aware that I could use $env(HOME) rather than a preprocessor directive of HOME.  I’m just trying to understand the usage of the #!defenv feature.

## Tested in 5.5.2

loadmodule "xlog"

loadmodule "pv"

loadmodule "evrexec"

modparam("evrexec", "exec", "name=evrexec:timer;wait=1000;workers=1;")

#!defenv HOME

request_route{

    forward();

}

event_route[evrexec:timer] {

    xlog("L_N", "HOME: " + HOME + "\n");

}
