Subject: Portable alternative to inet_ntop?
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2024 09:21:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240724092113.4977b047@hermes.local> (raw)
The function inet_ntop is useful to make printable addresses for debugging.
It is available on Linux and FreeBSD but not on Windows.
There are some alternatives:
- add yet another OS shim in lib/eal/windows/include.
Win32 has similar InetNtoP but it uses wide characters.
- copy/paste code from FreeBSD into some new functions.
Hate duplicating code, but portability is a problem here.
