-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all!
When reviewing the patch "FQDN for routes should expand to all IPs" today, I spotted that there is a function called getaddr() (renamed to getaddr_all() in the mentioned patch). This function again makes use of the old gethostbyname() function. This is not compatible with IPv6 addresses. I would strongly recommend a move to getaddrinfo() instead. This is based on an article [1] written by Ulrich Drepper, who is a glibc maintainer. Any thoughts about that? It might even be more functions needing to be ported as well. The mentioned article lists most important functions which should be ported to newer APIs. Any comments on this issue would be appreciated. Another issue is of course how this will influence other platforms than Linux. kind regards, David Sommerseth [1] <http://people.redhat.com/drepper/userapi-ipv6.html> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkt783AACgkQDC186MBRfrrIxgCgnpCvbJMWzxutz4You8Qj8Qki DFcAoJp5eGTHkee7Lz6AU+gKl5BOXiNv =5ITZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
