I'm all for it, but please use the following names:
function TryStrToHostAddr(IP: String; var ip4: in_addr): Boolean;
function TryStrToHostAddr6(IP: String; var ip6: in6_addr): Boolean;
Rationale for this request: All conversion calls in sysutils and
dateutils use this naming scheme, it's good for consistency.
(and I hate underscores, but that's beside the point ;))
Yes to the principle and yes to the TryStrTo naming. But I would make
the IP param CONST ;-)
And maybe change the var into an out
As I've already learned the hard way, the sockets unit is compiled in
"fpc" mode, so there's no "out" parameters. Otherwise I would definitely
have used one.
