Hi guys,
I am reading some native code in the jdk repos. I find that in
Inet4AddressImpl.c (folder solaris), gethostbyname is used. Meanwhile in
the Inet6AddressImpl.c. getaddrinfo is used. My question is why inet4
does not use getaddrinfo? Any concern here?
There are some pros I can see if getaddrinfo is used in the
Inet4AddressImpl:
1. Code will look more clean and portable :-)
2. __GLIBC__ can be omitted. I have grep the __GLIBC__ in the jdk/src
directories, only Inet4AddressImpl use it.
