Socketmodule at the moment has multiple problems after the changes to handle IPv6:

1: socketmodule.c now #includes getnameinfo.c and getaddrinfo.c. These functions both use offsetof(), which is defined (on my system, at least) in stddef.h. The #include for this file is inside a #if 0 block.

2: #including this file allow the compile to complete without error. However, there is no Makefile dependency on these two files, once socketmodule.o has been built. Changes to either of the get{name,addr}info.c files will not cause socketmodule to be rebuilt.

import socket Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/home/gonzo1/mark/groucho1/mark/src/python/CVS/python/dist/src/Li b/socket.py",

3: The socket module still does not work, however, since it refers to an unresolved symbol inet_pton line 41, in ? from _socket import * ImportError: Unresolved symbol in /home/gonzo1/mark/groucho1/mark/src/python/CVS/python/dist/src/bui ld/lib.osf1-V4.0-alpha-2.2/_socket.so: inet_pton

inet_pton is called in two places in getaddrinfo.c... there's likely to be other platforms besides Tru64 Unix that do not have this function.

If it's any consolation, the Windows build is in worse shape: socketmodule.c Modules\addrinfo.h(123) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Modules\addrinfo.h(125) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Modules\addrinfo.h(129) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Modules\addrinfo.h(129) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Modules\getaddrinfo.c(109) : warning C4013: 'offsetof' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getaddrinfo.c(109) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'type' Modules\getaddrinfo.c(109) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant Modules\getaddrinfo.c(109) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' Modules\getaddrinfo.c(111) : error C2059: syntax error : ',' Modules\getaddrinfo.c(407) : warning C4013: 'inet_pton' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getaddrinfo.c(414) : warning C4013: 'IN_MULTICAST' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getaddrinfo.c(414) : warning C4013: 'IN_EXPERIMENTAL' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getaddrinfo.c(417) : error C2065: 'IN_LOOPBACKNET' : undeclared identifier Modules\getaddrinfo.c(417) : warning C4018: '==' : signed/unsigned mismatch Modules\getaddrinfo.c(531) : error C2373: 'WSAGetLastError' : redefinition; different type modifiers C:\VC98\INCLUDE\winsock.h(787) : see declaration of 'WSAGetLastError' Modules\getnameinfo.c(66) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ')' before 'type' Modules\getnameinfo.c(66) : error C2099: initializer is not a constant Modules\getnameinfo.c(66) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' Modules\getnameinfo.c(67) : error C2059: syntax error : ',' Modules\getnameinfo.c(133) : warning C4013: 'snprintf' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getnameinfo.c(153) : warning C4018: '==' : signed/unsigned mismatch Modules\getnameinfo.c(167) : warning C4013: 'inet_ntop' undefined; assuming extern returning int Modules\getnameinfo.c(168) : warning C4047: '==' : 'int ' differs in levels of indirection from 'void *' Modules\getnameinfo.c(200) : warning C4047: '==' : 'int ' differs in levels of indirection from 'void *' Martin should revert the changes to socketmodule.c until this has a prayer of working.
