Subject: Re: getaddrinfo(3) with AI_V4MAPPED and AI_ALL flags
Hello Rich,
If you bind to ::ffff:0.0.0.0 on an IPv6 socket you will be able to
receive IPv4 connection only.
If you bind to :: on an IPv6 socket you will be able to receive both,
IPv6 and IPv4 connections.
So, on my opinion, if ::ffff:0.0.0.0 is the only IPv4 address on the
interface it should not be returned.
