It also allows removing many casts in code that needs to pass a sockaddr as a side effect.This patch only changes the fallback version of bits/socket.h that would be used by a new OS port that doesn't have its own, not either of the versions that any current glibc port actually uses (sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/socket.h and sysdeps/mach/hurd/bits/socket.h).
Hi Joseph!Thanks; I didn't notice about those. It seems that patching those is not so trivial, since bits/socket.h is included by the headers that provide the specialized sockaddr_* types. I guess we need to move sockaddr_{in,in6,un} to bits/ headers, right?
Cheers, Alex
