glibc until 2.10 has a bug in gethostbyaddr_r that assumes the buffer argument is 8-byte aligned (http://sources.redhat.com/ml/libc-alpha/2009-01/msg00000.html). gcc seems to always provide such alignment for the call in socketmodule.c:socket_gethostbyaddr(), but llvm-gcc (possibly only HEAD, not 2.4) does not, which causes a segfault in test_socket.py. The llvm bug investigating the problem is http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3233. The attached patch specifies the alignment so that llvm-gcc and unfixed glibcs work together. I'll commit this tomorrow if there are no objections. |

What about socket_gethostbyname_ex() ? |

socket_gethostbyname_ex() calls gethostbyname_r() rather than gethostbyaddr_r(), and that appears not to have the bug. |
