The 'socket_optslist' structure does not contain the 'localaddr' and 'localport' options that are parsed in case you are creating a 'connect' type UDP character device.
I've noticed it happening after commit f43e47dbf6de24db20ec9b588bb6cc762 made qemu abort() after seeing the invalid option. A minimal reproducer for the case is: $ qemu-system-x86_64 -chardev udp,id=charrng0,host=127.0.0.1,port=1234,localaddr=,localport=1234 qemu-system-x86_64: -chardev udp,id=charrng0,host=127.0.0.1,port=1234,localaddr=,localport=1234: Invalid parameter 'localaddr' Aborted (core dumped) Prior to the commit mentioned above the error would be printed but the value for localaddr and localport was simply ignored. I did not go trhough the code to find out when it was broken. Add the two fields so that the options can again be parsed correctly and qemu doesn't abort().
