[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] gethostbyname_r

[Nicolas George]

Hi.

Le quintidi 15 thermidor, an CCXV, Ronald S. Bultje a ?crit?:

gethostbyname_r is not standard, and gethostbyname is obsolete. New
applications are supposed to use getaddrinfo, which is thread-safe and
protocol independent. And standard.

getaddrinfo is already used in libavformat/udp.c, in udp_ipv6_resolve_host,
but it is not IPv6-specific.

I believe that, although it would probably mean a little more work, using
getaddrinfo by default everywhere would be a cleaner solution.

Regards,
