Fix get_netid() (3.61 KB, patch)
2008-06-21 19:19 UTC, Jules Colding 		none Details | Review

Description Jules Colding 2008-06-21 19:18:16 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The linc2/src/linc-protocols.c:get_netid() failed to deduce a correct IP address on Mac OS X 10.5 when ORBNetID was set to "ipaddr" as opposed to Linux where get_netid() worked correctly.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Let a small sample application create objects with the above ORB option on Mac OS X.
2. Use ior-decode-2 to see the deduced IP address. It would normally be a nonsense value.



Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
A patch correcting the problem will be attached to this bug entry and posted to the ORBit2 list.

Fix get_netid()

The patch has been tested on Mac OS X 10.5 and Ubuntu Gutsy. It fixes the problem and simplifies get_netid() by introducing a new helper function.
