comment {gl-00001}
Problem:
Edition of Specification (Year): 2003
Defect code : 3. Clarification required
The arpa/inet.h header definition does not provide a provision for specifically
including the sys/socket.h header file. Since the function prototype for
inet_ntop() has the last parameter type defined as socklen_t (which is
TYPEDEF'd in sys/socket.h). This would appear to be an ommision on the part of
the specification that needs to be addressed to prevent cries of name space
pollution. Interestingly, the current testsuite does not point out a possible
name space pollution when sys/socket.h is included in arpa/inet.h which lends
more credence to this being an oversight in the specification imho.
Action:
Specifically mention/allow the inclusion of sys/socket.h in the arpa/inet.h
header.
