> Eh? Even my FreeBSD used well shows a structure object. The standard lists the fields in the other order: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/basedefs/netdb.h.html Even though the standard doesn't say that that has to be the physical order, every other platform besides Windows does it that way. The patch as given is unacceptable because it *will* break other platforms (mine for instance ;-)). If it has to be this way for Windows then we need some sort of platform-specific #ifdef. Considering that the code works as-is on several sorts of Windows builds, we probably need something even more specific than that, like #if MSVC-before-version-XX. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
