Severity: normal
Tags: experimental,patch
Hi,
Neal Walfield has reported the following problem to libc-alpha
(http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2005-05/msg00044.html):
> sysdeps/posix/getaddrinfo.c incorrectly checks for sa_len. It should
> check if _HAVE_SA_LEN is defined, not if SALEN is true as is done in,
> for example, sysdeps/generic/ifreq.h .
>
> I encountered this while debugging the Orbit2 test suite on the Hurd.
> It checks if two addresses are the same using the following idiom:
>
> const struct sockaddr *saddr;
> struct addrinfo hints, *result = NULL;
> ...
> getaddrinfo(link_get_local_hostname(), NULL, &hints, &local _addr) != 0)
> ...
> if (af == AF_INET) {
> if (!memcmp ((struct sockaddr_in *)result->ai_addr,
> (struct sockaddr_in *)saddr,
> result->ai_addrlen))
He provided a patch (attached as .dpatch) which got applied by Roland
McGrath on the trunk today. Neal punted the decision whether to file
this in bugzilla in order to get it fixed for the 2.3 branch to me, so I
am asking here what you guys prefer.
thanks,
Michael
