PURPOSE of /tools/glibc/Regression/bz501595-RHEL4-getnameinfo-should-return-EAI-NONAME Description: Test for bz501595 ([RHEL4] getnameinfo() should return EAI_NONAME) Author: Petr Muller Bug summary: [RHEL4] getnameinfo() should return EAI_NONAME when both nodename and servname are set to null and flag is set to NI_NAMEREQD Bugzilla link: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=501595 Description: +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #489419 +++ Description of Problem: glibc getnameinfo() returns 0 when both nodename and servname are set to null and flag is set to 'NI_NAMEREQD'. The synopsis of function getnameinfo is: int getnameinfo(const struct sockaddr *sa, socklen_t salen, char *node, socklen_t nodelen, char *service, socklen_t servicelen, int flags); RFC3493 tells that getnameinfo() should returns 'EAI_NONAME' when both nodename and servname are null. So when use getnameinfo() with both nodename and servname are null and the NI_NAMEREQD flag is set, glibc should return 'EAI_NONAME' rather than 0. Version-Release number of selected component: glibc-2.3.4-2.43 How reproducible: every time Step to Reproduce: 1. gcc function-nodename-servname-null.c 2. ./a.out Actual Results: # ./a.out ==Both nodename and servname are null if the NI_NAMEREQD flag is set== ERROR:return 0, expect error EAI_NONAME <=== NG ===> Expected Results: # ./a.out ==Both nodename and servname are null if the NI_NAMEREQD flag is set== <=== OK ===> Additional Info: Upstream patch: http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/inet/getnameinfo.c.diff?r1=1.36&r2=1.37&cvsroot=glibc
