As for the relevance to the addrselct API, I was confused about one
point. New applications that support this API would probably test the
availability of the flag first like this:
hints.ai_flags = 0;
#ifdef AI_NEWFLAG
hints.ai_flags |= AI_NEWFLAG;
#endif
getaddrinfo(..., &hints, ..);
Thus, the problem occurs only when the flag definition and the
getaddrinfo() implementation are inconsistent (as Mark pointed out).
It would be fair to say such inconsistency is a bug and ignore such a
case.
I think it's still helpful if the addrselect document assumes the
consistency between the supported flag definitions and the
getaddrinfo() implementation.
We can add this to the document.
