| From: Paul Wouters <[email protected]> | Related, there are still a few places that end up calling | gethostbyname2() which is also obsolete and does not work for IPv6: | | lib/libswan/ttoaddress.c: struct hostent *h = gethostbyname2(p, af); | | The case in ttoaddress.c is the main one. Since it is used by | ttoaddress_dns() which is used in many places, we cannot replace it | with an async libunbound call. And to do a sync unbound call, last I | looked at this years ago, we would have to start another libunbound | context which gets its own cachce. Also, it would mean people can no | longer compile without libunbound. I guess the best fix would be to | rewrite it to use getaddrinfo() or res_ functions?
I'm working on using getaddrinfo(3). Using getaddrinfo(3) seems to be more concise than using gethostbyname2(3). This is surprising given the complex interface. I think that the res_functions are not a good idea: they are not POSIX, they are just BIND (GCC wrapper). _______________________________________________ Swan-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.libreswan.org/mailman/listinfo/swan-dev
