#include <netinet6/in6.h> in the macOS 10.14 SDK says: /* * RFC 3542 define the following socket options in a manner incompatible * with RFC 2292: * IPV6_PKTINFO * IPV6_HOPLIMIT * IPV6_NEXTHOP * IPV6_HOPOPTS * IPV6_DSTOPTS * IPV6_RTHDR * * To use the new IPv6 Sockets options introduced by RFC 3542 * the constant __APPLE_USE_RFC_3542 must be defined before * including <netinet/in.h> * * To use the old IPv6 Sockets options from RFC 2292 * the constant __APPLE_USE_RFC_2292 must be defined before * including <netinet/in.h> * * Note that eventually RFC 3542 is going to be the * default and RFC 2292 will be obsolete. */ My conclusion from reading this: the name might suggest that this is an internal macro, but should be safe to use. ---------- components: +macOS nosy: +ned.deily, ronaldoussoren stage: -> needs patch versions: +Python 3.8 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35569> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
