From 193d33fd4a4267c327e95cddc7d92103f187e2a3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Daniel Stenberg Date: Wed, 2 Jan 2008 22:23:27 +0000 Subject: I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead made it an unsigned int. The type was only used in the curl_sockaddr struct definition (only used by the curl_opensocket_callback). On all platforms I could find information about, socklen_t is 32 unsigned bits large so I don't think this will break the API or ABI. The main reason for this change is of course for all the platforms that don't have a socklen_t definition in their headers to build fine again. Providing our own configure magic and custom definition of socklen_t on those systems proved to work but was a lot of cruft, code and extra magic needed - when this very small change of type seems harmless and still solves the missing socklen_t problem. --- CHANGES | 11 +++++++++++ 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+) (limited to 'CHANGES') diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES index bd9a29a93..23dbddb9d 100644 --- a/CHANGES +++ b/CHANGES @@ -7,6 +7,17 @@ Changelog Daniel S (2 Jan 2008) +- I removed the socklen_t use from the public curl/curl.h header and instead + made it an unsigned int.
