Charles-François Natali added the comment: Hum... Apparently, before this bug was fixed, glibc's getaddrinfo() would retrieve the list of interfaces at every call, even if AI_ADDRCONFIG was not set: http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=fa3fc0fe5f452d0aa7e435d8f32e992958683819
Which can mean a large overhead. Also, from a quick look at the source, it will also retrieve the list of interfaces if more than one address matches (e.g. for TCP, UDP, or if AF_UNSPEC is passed). So using getaddrinfo() could incur a non-negligible overhead. So it might be better to just use inet_pton() instead. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18806> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
