Hi all, I'm working on an cross-platform application with DNS resolution with IPv6 support, but I can't really get around how should I handle IP version independent DNS resolution. After some searching, I see getaddrinfo might be a convenient solution, since it is implemented on multiple platforms, as it is POSIX-standard. Windows and Linux both have it.
Which unit should I link on Windows and Linux to get getaddrinfo? On Linux, I managed to link it through cnetdb, though probably there is a better way. On Windows, I tried Windows, WinSock and WinSock2, but neither has it. I also need some help with using the function, as it works very strangely on Linux, as it returns addrinfo structures, but the ai_addr member is always a null-pointer, which is theoretically impossible by the manual, in my understanding. Though if you have a better idea for cross-platform and IP version independent network handling with Free Pascal, I'm all ears! ~MegaBrutal _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
