Alan Conway commented on PROTON-1706:
-------------------------------------
Simplified proposed API, since the proactor must create all the pn_netaddr_t
structs in any case, there's no benefit in forcing the user to allocate an
array so use a pointer chain:
{code:none}
/**
* Get the listening addresses of a listener.
*
* A listener can have more than one address for several reasons:
* - DNS host records may indicate more than one address
* - On a multi-homed host, listening on the default host "" will listen on all
local addresses.
* - Some IPv4/IPV6 configurations may expand a single address into a v4/v6
pair.
*
* pn_netaddr_next() will iterate over all the addresses in the list.
*
* @param l points to the listener
* @return The first listening address or NULL if there are no addresses are
available.
* Use pn_netaddr_next() to iterate over the list.
*/
PNP_EXTERN const pn_netaddr_t *pn_netaddr_listening(pn_listener_t *l);
/**
* @return Pointer to the next address in a list of addresses, NULL if at the
end of the list or
* if this address is not part of a list.
*/
PNP_EXTERN const pn_netaddr_t *pn_netaddr_next(const pn_netaddr_t *na);
{code}

> Project: Qpid Proton
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: proton-c
> Affects Versions: proton-c-0.18.1
> Reporter: Alan Conway
> Assignee: Alan Conway
> Fix For: proton-c-0.20.0
>
>
> Allow access to the actual listening port of a pn_listener_t so that the
> actual address is available when listening on port 0.
> Proposed API:

> /**

> *
> * @param l points to the listener
> * @param addrs an array of `pn_netaddr_t*` to be filled with pointers the
> listening addresses
> * Pointers are invalid after the listener closes (PN_LISTENER_CLOSE event
> is handled)
> * @param len is the length of the array @p addrs
> * @return The actual number of addresses used for listening. This may be:
> * - 0: addresses are unavailable.
> * - <= @p len: all addresses were copied to @p addrs, remaining entries
> were set to NULL.
> * - > @p len: the first @p len addresses were copied to @p addr.
> * `pn_netaddr_listen(l, NULL, 0)` returns the number of listening addresses.
