Re: PostgreSQL 8.0.3, AIX 5.1, getaddrinfo, AI_NUMERICHOST

"Yea, what he said" ;-)

I found the working stuff in getaddrinfo.h in PG distro only.

However, in NETDB.H as Logan noted, it is there on my 5.3 AIX:

....
/* Flag definitions for addrinfo hints in protocol-independent name/addr/service service. RFC2133 */
/* Also flag definitions for getipnodebyname RFC 2553 */
#define AI_CANONNAME 0x01 /* canonical name to be included in return */
#define AI_PASSIVE 0x02 /* prepare return for call to bind() */
#define AI_NUMERICHOST 0x04 /* RFC 2553, nodename is a numeric host address string */
#define AI_ADDRCONFIG 0x08 /* RFC 2553, source address family configured */
#define AI_V4MAPPED 0x10 /* RFC 2553, accept v4 mapped addresses */
#define AI_ALL 0x20 /* RFC 2553, accept all addresses */
#define AI_NUMERICSERV 0x40 /* RFC 2553, service name is a numeric string */
#define AI_DEFAULT (AI_V4MAPPED | AI_ADDRCONFIG) /* RFC 2553 */
.....

I wonder if the 4 vice 0 is an issue....think not, b/c the
PG distro header has a good IFDEF stanza for this....

Defined how?

We do have

#ifndef AI_NUMERICHOST
#define AI_NUMERICHOST 0
#endif

in our own code, so we should do the right thing on platforms that don't
define the symbol. If AIX 5.1 defines the symbol and then chokes when
you use it, that's a bug to take up with IBM, not us.
