Subject: Re: Proposed changes for Bug 7193520
John,
Changes look good for me.
Few nits below.
PlainDatagramSocketImpl.c
318 brackets is not necessary anymore
1644 whole #ifdef could be removed
struct ip_mreqn mreqn;
is not necessary anymore,
2283 the same
2294 #ifdef is not necessary anymore
------- This is the original code near line number 2294
#ifdef __linux__
mname.imr_address.s_addr =
(isOldKernel ? mreqn.imr_address.s_addr : in.s_addr);
#else
mname.imr_interface.s_addr = in.s_addr;
#endif
---------------
When Linux is the OS, the structure field name to be set is "imr_address",
whereas when other OSes are used, the field name is: imr_interface.
Am I understanding your suggestion correctly?
Thanks!
John
