Mario Emmenlauer commented on THRIFT-5186:
------------------------------------------
This sounds very reasonable, and in any case I could not see how this would
*not* be better than the current behavior. Picking one random try and possibly
failing while other interfaces may work seems inferior to your proposal.
> AI_ADDRCONFIG: Thrift libraries crash with localhost-only network.

> THRIFT-2539 has been reported, and fixed — but for win32 only, for no
> apparent reason. The exact same problem reproduces on POSIX.
> Namely, when no network interfaces besides {{lo}} (the 127.0.0.1 loopback
> interface) are up, C++ and Python apps linked with Thrift-generated code,
> both clients and servers — *crash by throwing an exception*. Even when the
> intention is exactly to run them on localhost only.
> This happens because Thrift library code for TSocket, TServerSocket,
> TNonblockingServerSocket calls
> [{{getaddrinfo()}}|http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.html]
> to resolve target hostname to connect to/listen on, into concrete IP address
> (v4 or v6, whichever the system is configured for). To that call, it *passes
> the {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}} hint* which effectively turns a localhost-only
> situation into:
> {quote}{{Could not resolve host for client socket.}}
> {quote}
> and into this (server-side):
> {code:java}
> гру 23 13:52:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: db_cache.service: Main
> process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
> гру 23 13:52:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: db_cache.service: Failed
> with result 'core-dump'.

> I fail to understand the original reason to pass that {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}} hint.
> It shouldn't be there as I see it.
> Further, since Thrift 0.9.2, windows builds of thrift apps don't pass that
> hint anymore (see THRIFT-2539), and it seems to be okay.
> For comprehension, I'm attaching a sample patch to remove {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}}
> from {{lib/cpp}} and {{lib/py}}. The main change will be landing via GitHub,
> per Thrift's contribution process, so please follow there too.
