Crash in HLA 1.3 & 1516e C++ interfaces if JAVA_HOME not set #137

Open timpokorny opened 9 years ago

Summary

Portico C++ federates will crash if JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set.

In the HLA13 class Runtime.cpp#286 there is the call:

string jrelocation( getenv("JAVA_HOME") );

If JAVA_HOME is not set, this will return null and then there will be a crash. The same code is present in the 1516e interface: Runtime.cpp#240

Throughout these classes there are many other uses of getenv that do not check for null and should also be remediated.

Verified while trying to test Portico WAN things. JAVA_HOME needs to be set. It doesn't matter what to, it just needs to be set to something.

Currently hamstrung by the fact that the federates themselves don't seem to work happily on Mac OS X.
