int qemu_accept(int s, union __attribute__((__transparent_union__)) {
struct sockaddr *sa;
struct sockaddr_in *sin;
struct sockaddr_in6 *sin6;
} addr, socklen_t len);
#define qemu_accept(s, addr) qemu_accept(s, addr, sizeof(*addr))
Seems to work. :-)
Or use a typedef to prettify, but there's no need for another named
type in the API. (But you might create QSockAddr anyway, for things
like printing and parsing).
