Alexander V. Chernikov <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from Alexander V. Chernikov <[email protected]> --- For the record, the previous behaviour was provided by the following code in route.c: ``` /* * MSB of net should be meaningful. 0/0 is exception. */ if (net > 0) while ((net & 0xff000000) == 0) net <<= 8; ``` https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sbin/route/route.c?h=stable/12#n1123 This part was removed as a classful bits cleanup here: https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/sbin/route/route.c?id=d28210b2c2aaf3200907ed30d296b0d4856dd03c I have mixed opinions on that. Using 10/8 or 240/4 is certainly convenient. However, it effectively goes again the behaviour specified in inet(3), so it may be a bit confusing for the people w/o muscular memory on remembering that worked. I'd rather prefer to leave it in a current state. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
