Subject: Re: [Bug?] getaddrinfo() fills .ai_canonname when
AI_CANONNAME isn't passed
Hi,
I just had a look at the POSIX specification again and noticed that it
doesn't breathe a word about the setting of .ai_canonname in case
AI_CANONNAME is not set. Nor does it say anything about .ai_canonname in
any returned structure other than the first. The case is entirely
unspecified.
Therefore your application must not make assumptions about it in that
case. The test is wrong to assume anything about .ai_canonname if
AI_CANONNAME is not set.
Ciao,
Markus
