Thread: Missing EAI_ADDRFAMILY

Missing EAI_ADDRFAMILY

From
Bruce Momjian
Date:
BSD/OS 4.3 is missing the define EAI_ADDRFAMILY as referenced in ip.c.
It is marked as obscolete.   However, it is still mentioned in the
getaddrinfo() manual page.  I have filed a bug report with BSDi.

BSD/OS 4.2 had it defined.

I have added the proper define to our port/bsdi.h, attached.

There are other more intresting difference between rfc2553,
rfc3493.txt and for instance the SUS specification.

Only rfc2553 has EAI_ADDRFAMILY.
Only rfc2553 has NI_MAXHOST and NI_MAXSERV.

I'm probably forgetting some other things.

Oh, so this could come up on other platforms.  Interesting.  We don't
actually test for the error value, just return it from ip.c from
getaddrinfo() routines.
