Hello
I have noticed that the types of the functions htonl, htons, ntohs and
ntohl differs from standard (and linux):
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/functions/htonl.html
Cygwin uses:
unsigned long int ntohl(unsigned long int);
unsigned short int ntohs(unsigned short int);
unsigned long int htonl(unsigned long int);
unsigned short int htons(unsigned short int);
The standard (and Linux) has:
uint32_t htonl(uint32_t hostlong);
uint16_t htons(uint16_t hostshort);
uint32_t ntohl(uint32_t netlong);
uint16_t ntohs(uint16_t netshort);
Is there any reason for this difference?
The difference in the api gives me warnings when porting code from
Linux to Cygwin.
Thanks
Lars Munch
