Did you see the line of the kernel source I send you ? kernel expect size of 109 for un aka we should pad by a nul byte... I think it is safer in a first step, to keep the old structure... Maybe later simplify Did you also see https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/master/socket/sys/socket.h#L63 Bastien > > Right? > > > > > struct sockaddr_storage > > { > > union > > { > > __SOCKADDR_COMMON (ss_); /* Address family, etc. */ > > struct sockaddr sa; > > struct sockaddr_in sin; > > struct sockaddr_in6 sin6; > > struct sockaddr_un sun; > > struct __private_sock_storage _private; > > }; > > }; > > > > May it could be dropped later using align construct for modern C and padding > > > > Cheers, > > Alex > > > Bastien > >> > >> > >> > > > > -- > <http://www.alejandro-colomar.es/> >
