From e2edef6e5e7546ce591f2318bce9d115a223d78d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ettore Perazzoli Date: Sat, 19 May 2001 12:38:39 +0000 Subject: Modify `e_gethostbyname_r()' so that it doesn't report an error if the 5-argument `gethostbyname_r()' returns a non-NULL hostent and a nonzero herr. This fixes the "Cannot resolve localhost" error on GNU/Linux with libc 2.2.x. svn path=/trunk/; revision=9888 --- e-util/ChangeLog | 11 +++++++++++ e-util/e-host-utils.c | 7 ++++++- 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'e-util') diff --git a/e-util/ChangeLog b/e-util/ChangeLog index 6c0a558e3d..cb5df43d2d 100644 --- a/e-util/ChangeLog +++ b/e-util/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +2001-05-19 Ettore Perazzoli + + * e-host-utils.c (e_gethostbyname_r) + [HAVE_GETHOSTBYNAME_R && GETHOSTBYNAME_R_FIVE_ARGS]: Set `*herr' + to zero if the function returns a non-NULL pointer to the hostent. + According to the docs, a returned non-NULL hostent always means + "no error" no matter what the returned value of `herr' is.
