>Environment:
System: NetBSD srapc2586.sra.co.jp 7.1 NetBSD 7.1 (GENERIC.201703111743Z) amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
The order of ai_canonname and ai_next is different as follows:
getaddrinfo(3) man page:
struct addrinfo {
... SNIP ...
struct sockaddr *ai_addr;
char *ai_canonname;
struct addrinfo *ai_next;
};
<netdb.h>:
struct addrinfo {
... SNIP ...
char *ai_canonname;
struct sockaddr *ai_addr;
struct addrinfo *ai_next;
};
this problem was introduced in lib/libc/net/getaddrinfo.3 revision 1.39.
the order of the man page is same with Single UNIX Specification,
OpenBSD and Linux.
our implementation in <netdb.h> is same with FreeBSD, Solaris
and RFC2133/2553/3493
FreeBSD had similar problem and fixed it on Feb 10 2019 as part of follows:
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/base?view=revision&revision=343967
I've heard this problem from hrs@NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
compare "man 3 getaddrinfo" and /usr/include/netdb.h
>Fix:
the following patch also updates the comment fields to make them
match with <netdb.h> just like as FreeBSD did in revision 343967.
the ai_protocol line below exeeds 80 columns though.
perhaps it is better to replace TABs by some spaces?
