musl/src/network, branch v0.7.8 musl - an implementation of the standard library for Linux-based systems optimize ntohl etc. in terms of bswap functions 2011-04-12T17:13:27+00:00 Rich Felker dalias@aerifal.cx 2011-04-12T17:13:27+00:00 c89862660bd3845ace7977480db3a43dc80475f4 we can do this without violating the namespace now that they are macros/inline functions rather than extern functions. the motivation is that gcc was generating giant, slow, horrible code for the old functions, and now generates a single byte-swapping instruction.

workaround broken msghdr struct on 64bit linux 2011-04-08T13:24:19+00:00 Rich Felker dalias@aerifal.cx 2011-04-08T13:24:19+00:00 7168790763cdeb794df52be6e3b39fbb021c5a64 POSIX clearly specifies the type of msg_iovlen and msg_controllen, and Linux ignores it and makes them both size_t instead. to work around this we add padding (instead of just using the wrong types like glibc does), but we also need to patch-up the struct before passing it to the kernel in case the caller did not zero-fill it. if i could trust the kernel to just ignore the upper 32 bits, this would not be necessary, but i don't think it will ignore them...

previously NULL was returned in ai_canonname, resulting in crashes in
some callers. this behavior was incorrect. note however that the new
behavior differs from glibc, which performs reverse dns lookups. POSIX
is very clear that a reverse DNS lookup must not be performed for
numeric addresses.

sadly the C language does not specify any such implicit conversion, so
this is not a matter of just fixing warnings (as gcc treats it) but
actual errors. i would like to revisit a number of these changes and
possibly revise the types used to reduce the number of casts required.
