hostent structure in win2_32 lib #40
Description
The docs say h_addrtype is a SHORT, but the WinDevLib type is specified as a Long (enum ADDRESS_FAMILIES).
In WinDevLib v9.1.591.0:
Public Type hostent
h_name As LongPtr /* official name of host */
h_aliases As LongPtr /* alias list */
h_addrtype As ADDRESS_FAMILIES /* host address type */
h_length As Integer /* length of address */
h_addr_list As LongPtr /* list of addresses */
End TypeBut the mystery to me is to avoid a native exception (32-bit and 64-bit) in resolving a host address, I have to use this:
Private Type hostent
h_name As LongPtr /* official name of host */
h_aliases As LongPtr /* alias list */
#If win64 Then
h_addrtype As ADDRESS_FAMILIES /* host address type */
#Else
h_addrtype As Integer /* host address type */
#End If
h_length As Integer /* length of address */
h_addr_list As LongPtr /* list of addresses */
End TypeThanks.
