Subject: socket examples say INADDR_LOCALHOST rather than INADDR_LOOPBACK
Date: Tue, 29 Sep 2009 17:30:35 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AC2A6AB.7090105@coverity.com> (raw)
In the documentation for Guile's 'connect' call:
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/docs/docs-1.8/guile-ref/Network-Sockets-and-Communication.html
it gives examples:
(connect sock AF_INET INADDR_LOCALHOST 23)
(connect sock (make-socket-address AF_INET INADDR_LOCALHOST 23))
However, the correct address is INADDR_LOOPBACK, not INADDR_LOCALHOST.
The former is not defined:
guile> (inet-ntoa INADDR_LOOPBACK)
"127.0.0.1"
guile> (inet-ntoa INADDR_LOCALHOST)
[...]
ABORT: (unbound-variable)
