* Detailed description
Currently the getaddrinfo() function doesn't work as it was desinged.
Many of its features are buggy and cannot be used without extensive
workarounds. Many software packages are using getaddrinfo() with such
workarounds. Many can trigger its failures. And many packages that don't
use getaddrinfo() will be ported in the near future.
One feature I would like to see added to future glibc, is a fully
asynchronous version of getaddrinfo, and also getnameinfo.
Asynchronous for non filesystem fds at least.
The glibc maintainers don't seem to be against this idea and I am
willing to put time into design and implementation.
I have a number of high level ideas for this project that I would like
to have documented as starting points. I am not a fedora community
member, so someone will need to help me raise bugzillas and paste my
notes on the wiki.
