hostent_data struct

hostent_data struct

[Carla Nunes]

Hi all,

I'm using Linux 2.96-RH and I'm trying to compile a
code that uses the hostent_data struct. However I got
a message like that:

"aggregate 'hostent_data hd' has incomplete type and
cannot be initialized"

I looked at <netdb.h> and the file doesn't define this
struct as it should be.

What should I do?

Thank you in advance, Carla.

Indeed.  hostent_data doesn't appear to be a standard struct, and
glibc doesn't define such a type, as far as I can tell.  This means
the code you're trying to compile will have to be ported to GNU/Linux.

Anyway, this question has nothing to do with GCC.  GCC is a compiler;
the C library is a separate project.

GNATS

[John Love-Jensen]

Hi GCC fans, fanatics and friends,

Has anyone addressed GNATS #2072 / 2091 / 2107 / 2109?  Is it fixed in
2.95.3, 2.96.x, or 3.0.x?

(As a reminder, the -ffloat-store switch fixes the "%l7 register becomes
corrupt" problem in conjunction with the optimizer and -fPIC or -fpic, on
SPARC architecture.)

Thanks,
