Hi net maintainers, I'd like you to do a code review.
I got frustrated with incomplete information from exceptions thrown from java.net, so I hacked up some fixes for them. This is the result. generify; remove compiler warnings, typos, casts; return status information via gai_strerror when getaddrinfo fails http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~martin/webrevs/openjdk7/netErrors/<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Emartin/webrevs/openjdk7/netErrors/> But... I don't know what I'm doing here, and the underlying bug I was tracking down is fixed, so it's hard for me to test my code changes. It would be good if a java.net maintainer would add a test case, or at least verify my exception improvements with an ad hoc test. Thanks, Martin
