New functions getnameinfo, getaddrinfo. New exceptions socket.gaierror,
socket.herror. Various new constants, in particular AF_INET6 and error
codes and parameters for getaddrinfo.
AF_INET6 support in setipaddr, makesockaddr, getsockaddr, getsockaddrlen,
gethost_common, PySocket_gethostbyaddr.
When getting a string buffer for a string we just created, use
PyString_AS_STRING() instead of PyString_AsString() to avoid the
call overhead and extra type check.
this could cause invalid paths to be returned for AF_UNIX sockets on some
platforms (including FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), appearantly because there is
no assurance that the address will be nul-terminated when filled in by the
kernel.
PySocketSock_recvfrom(): Use PyString_AS_STRING() to get the data pointer
of a string we create ourselves; there is no need for the extra type
check from PyString_AsString().
This closes SF bug #416573.
OpenSSL versions beore 0.9.5. This just is too experimental to be
worth it, especially since the user would have to do some severe
hacking of the Modules/Setup file to even enable the EGD code, and
without the EGD code it would always spit out a warning on some
systems -- even when socket.ssl() is not used. Fixing that properly
is not my job; the EGD patch is clearly not so important that it
should hold up the 2.1 release.
