Hi, Paul.
Thanks for taking the time to compile this code on another platform.
I'll try to see if I can't get the complete C file to compile and
execute on Linux as soon as I can, and see what happens there.
The C/C++ compiler for z/VM is a port of the z/OS C/C++ product and is a
licensed (i.e, for $$$) IBM program product. You can find more
information about it here:
http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/czvm/
Other than this getaddrinfo problem, I'm very pleased with the quality
of the compiler in general.

Well, this code compiles perfectly under SuSE Linux 9, so I think that the
compiler is telling you it cannot find any function named getaddrinfo().
Make sure you have the correct MACLIBS or whatever the C compiler uses
set up.
Come to think of it, what C compiler are you using under VM? Is it a
freebie? :)

Subject: a C language question....
I know that this is the z/VM forum, but I have a question about
compiling a C program on CMS, so I'm hoping someone here might know the
answer.....
I've written a short C test program that invokes the new "getaddrinfo" C
library function. However, the z/VM C/C++ compiler complains with the
following error message when I attempt to compile my test program:
#define _OPEN_SYS_SOCK_IPV6
#include <netdb.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
struct addrinfo hints, *res, *res0;
int main(int argc, char *argv ) {
int error;
int s;
char *name = "www.cacert.org";
char *port = "80";
const char *cause = NULL;
memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints));
hints.ai_family = PF_UNSPEC;
hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
error = getaddrinfo(name, port, &hints, &res0);

=====> a - CCN3023 Expecting function or pointer to function.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong (besides the obvious fact that I
am reduced to using C as a programming language, which has to be one of
the worst tools ever devised..the use of C has set back good software
development by 20 years, imho.)
Thanks for any help and have a good one.
