Bug #: 14965
Summary: remove AI_ADDRCONFIG from getaddrinfo() flags
Product: glibc
Version: 2.15
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: network
AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: psimerda@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
AI_ADDRCONFIG can be beneficial to applications when it's only used for the
connect(), sendto(), etc. See a detailed description of this topic:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/NameResolution/ADDRCONFIG
The defaults are only used when an application doesn't supply hints. But,
virtually any application that wants to connect() wants to also specify at
least the transport protocol (TCP, UDP). That means that applications that
would benefit from AI_ADDRCONFIG won't use the defaults anyway.
