[gdal-dev] When is GDAL_DATA environment variable read by OGR?

[Jason Roberts]

I am curious to know when OGR will read the GDAL_DATA environment variable.
After looking at the code and reviewing this
<http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/gdal-dev/2009-May/020584.html>  email
thread, it appears that the environment variable is currently only read at
initialization time (OGRSFDriverRegistrar::OGRSFDriverRegistrar() is one
such place), and that changes to the variable after initialization time will
not be recognized. Is that correct? Do you anticipate that that behavior
will change in the future?

 

Thanks,

Jason
