Today's applications use getaddrinfo() primarily to be protocol independent (and to support both IPv6 and IPv4 as a result), not necessarily for scenarios involving name-to-address resolution, let alone specifically for converting LL addresses with the % notation: apps don't have to use protocol-dependent code logic whether it's invoked as "ssh 192.0.2.1" or "ssh 2001:db8::1". And for this primary reason the use of getaddrinfo() is very common. The better support for scoped addresses is just a bonus effect of it, but thanks to the common adoption most modern applications can understand the % notation without doing anything special for link-local addresses within their application code. That's the whole point of this topic. Recall the original context: > At Wed, 24 Apr 2019 13:28:48 +1000, > Mark Smith <markzzzsmith@gmail.com> wrote: > > However, the drawback of using LL addresses is that each application > > has to be written to specifically handle them via sin6_scope_id. > > This is not entirely accurate. Section 11 of RFC 4007 exists exactly > for this purpose. the point is that "each application has to be written to specifically handle them via sin6_scope_id" is not correct for most modern applications. I don't deny there are still exceptions, but they are exceptions, and would be weak to be used as a rationale to introduce something new. -- JINMEI, Tatuya
