Hi, The ai_addrlen of a struct addrinfo used to be a size_t, per RFC 2553. In XNS5.2, and subsequently in POSIX-2001 and RFC 3493, it was changed to a socklen_t. And, the n_net of a struct netent used to be an unsigned long integer. In XNS5, and subsequently in POSIX-2001, it was changed to an uint32_t. I made a patch to correct these: http://www.imasy.or.jp/~ume/FreeBSD/netdb.h-padding.diff To accomodate for this while preserving ABI compatibility with the old interface, we need to prepend or append 32 bits of padding, depending on the (LP64) architecture's endianness. I wish to delete these padding before 6.0-RELEASE. Please review it. Sincerely, -- Hajimu UMEMOTO _at_ Internet Mutual Aid Society Yokohama, Japan ume_at_mahoroba.org ume_at_{,jp.}FreeBSD.org http://www.imasy.org/~ume/Received on Tue May 03 2005 - 16:44:45 UTC
