Close, but not quite. The POSIX solution for this is the sockaddr_storage type, in <sys/socket.h>. You shouldn't need to create your own union, but instead reuse sockaddr_storage. -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

Casting from sockaddr to sockaddr_storage still produces an error with clang. However, I was reading the related code and noticed a similar union in the virSocketAddr type, so I decided to use that instead; that also allowed to reduce size of the code a little. Roman Bogorodskiy
