Ben Craig commented on THRIFT-1944: ----------------------------------- To recap from earlier in the thread... " 1) sockaddr type isn't always large enough for the return of getsockname. sockaddr_storage is recommended data type for this. I think main case is ipv6 2) errno is not the correct method of getting the error in windows. Should be WSAGetLastError(). " Both of those bugs are still present in head > Binding to zero port > -------------------- > > Key: THRIFT-1944 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1944 > Project: Thrift > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: C++ - Library > Affects Versions: 0.9 > Environment: All platforms > Reporter: Akshat Aranya > Assignee: Ben Craig > Labels: bind > Attachments: patch-THRIFT-1944-java.patch, > patch-THRIFT-1944-updated.patch, patch-THRIFT-1944.patch > > Original Estimate: 1h > Remaining Estimate: 1h > > This patch builds upon a previously submitted patch that was not accepted > (THRIFT-966).
