Re: Windows + IP6 progress

The definition in WS2tcpip.h

WINSOCK_API_LINKAGE
int
WSAAPI
getaddrinfo(
IN const char FAR * nodename,
IN const char FAR * servname,
IN const struct addrinfo FAR * hints,
OUT struct addrinfo FAR * FAR * res
);

(IN, FAR, and OUT are #defined to empty string).

WINSOCK_API_LINKAGE is __declspec(dllimport)
WSAAPI is __stdcall

So, nothing magic with #defines of the name getaddrinfo.
