Yeah, right. > If need be, I could contribute by writing cygwin-native versions of > inet_pton, inet_ntop, inet_aton, inet_ntoa, etc. rather than calling the > windows variants. inet_addr on it's own is already pretty bitrotted at > this point as well. Thanks for the offer. However, I'm in the process of restructuring the network stuff. I'm just testing inet_aton, inet_ntoa and inet_network from FreeBSD which seem to be fine for Cygwin, too, so I will use them. inet_pton and inet_ntop are using these functions so the are on the safe side. New AF_INET6 capable versions of inet_pton and inet_ntop are already in the loop, too.
