It turns out that just calling g_inet_address_get_type() isn't
enough, since its marked G_GNUC_CONST, so the call is optimized
away. If we assign the return value to a volatile location we ensure
it is called.
OS X's headers split up the current and old (BIND 4) nameserver stuff
slightly differently than Linux does, but explicitly including
arpa/nameser_compat.h does the right thing on both. Part of #580301
In glibc, IN6_IS_ADDR_UNSPECIFIED() et al. cast their argument to a
uint32_t*, so it doesn't matter whether you pass them the in6_addr
itself (which is what you're supposed to do) or one of its union
members (which is what we were actually doing). Solaris's macro
accesses the in6_addr fields directly though, and so only works if you
pass the actual in6_addr. #580194.
GResolver provides asynchronous (and synchronous-but-cancellable) APIs
for resolving hostnames, reverse-resolving IP addresses back to
hostnames, and resolving SRV records. Part of #548466.
Types and methods for dealing with IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (and UNIX
domain socket addresses under UNIX). This does not include code for
actual socket I/O.
Originally from "gnio". Much of the code was written by Christian
Kellner, Samuel Cormier-Iijima, and Ryan Lortie.
Part of #548466.
