I cannot understand why this change is required. RFC2553 says:
addresses, the buffer must be at least 16-octets. In order to allow
applications to easily declare buffers of the proper size to store
IPv4 and IPv6 addresses in string form, the following two constants
are defined in <netinet/in.h>:
#define INET_ADDRSTRLEN 16
#define INET6_ADDRSTRLEN 46
I believe this two define shouldn't appear in application side.
