One | of the comments in the CHANGES file from a while ago is: | | 384. [feature] there is now a nearly-thread-safe resolver API, with | the old non-thread-safe API being a set of stubs on | top of this. it is possible to program without _res. | note: the documentation has not been updated. also | note: IRS is a thread-ready API, get*by*() is not. | (see ../contrib/manyhosts for an example application.) | | There's no sense re-inventing any more wheels than necessary. Great! This makes my job even easier! Does anyone have any issues with merging the new bind resolver API into libc?
