Actually, in thinking about it a bit more, I think the real problem is with a strange usage case -- copying the addrinfo structure inside a library will lead to a garbage result. It isn't just the old library that's the problem; it's the old library attempting to manipulate a structure that 'belongs' to someone else and thus getting it wrong. I agree that AI_EXTFLAGS ought to be more than sufficient for reasonable applications. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list ipv6@ietf.org Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
