             Bug #: 14102
           Summary: netdb.h is missing NI_NUMERICSCOPE
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: network
        AssignedTo: unassigned@sourceware.org
        ReportedBy: bugdal@aerifal.cx
    Classification: Unclassified


POSIX requires the NI_NUMERICSCOPE flag to be defined for use with getnameinfo.
glibc is missing it. I propose defining it as 256 (the next available value);
ignoring it should produce perfectly conformant behavior as far as I can tell.

Ping. This seems like a really simple issue to resolve. I'm waiting for a
decision because musl libc is also missing it and we want to use the same
number glibc ends up choosing to avoid gratuitous incompatibility.

For issues like these a fastest way is to send patch to libc-alpha.
