Thanks Mike. The fix is amazingly simple but looking at the patch |
| 16 |
makes me realize how little I understand the c language after years |
| 17 |
of reading c code but not writing any :/ |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
const char *hostname = NULL; (upstream apparently forgot the = NULL) |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
That line declares *hostname as a constant and then the statement below |
| 22 |
proceeds to assign a value to the 'constant'. I wonder how many hours |
| 23 |
of frustration have been suffered by student programmers while trying to |
| 24 |
understand the logic behind that. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
<coughing from the dust on my 40-year-old Kernighan and Ritchie> I see |
| 27 |
that they didn't include the 'const' keyword at all. That was a later |
| 28 |
change introduced by some ANSI committee, bless them. |
| 29 |
|

<sigh> I truly don't understand how any working code get written. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
Anyway, thanks again for the fix :) |
