I know that this is the z/VM forum, but I have a question about compiling a C program on CMS, so I'm hoping someone here might know the answer.....

I've written a short C test program that invokes the new "getaddrinfo" C library function. However, the z/VM C/C++ compiler complains with the following error message when I attempt to compile my test program:

#define _OPEN_SYS_SOCK_IPV6 #include <netdb.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <errno.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> struct addrinfo hints, *res, *res0; int main(int argc, char *argv ) { int error; int s; char *name = "www.cacert.org"; char *port = "80"; const char *cause = NULL; memset(&hints, 0, sizeof(hints)); hints.ai_family = PF_UNSPEC; hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM; error = getaddrinfo(name, port, &hints, &res0); ...................a.......................................... =====> a - CCN3023 Expecting function or pointer to function.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong (besides the obvious fact that I am reduced to using C as a programming language, which has to be one of the worst tools ever devised..the use of C has set back good software development by 20 years, imho.)

Thanks for any help and have a good one.
