Description
Currently /usr/include/netinet/in.h defines
struct in6_addr { union { /* * Note: Static initalizers of "union" type assume * the constant on the RHS is the type of the first member * of union. * To make static initializers (and efficient usage) work, * the order of members exposed to user and kernel view of * this data structure is different. * User environment sees specified uint8_t type as first * member whereas kernel sees most efficient type as * first member. */ #ifdef _KERNEL uint32_t _S6_u32[4]; /* IPv6 address */ uint8_t _S6_u8[16]; /* IPv6 address */ #else uint8_t _S6_u8[16]; /* IPv6 address */ uint32_t _S6_u32[4]; /* IPv6 address */ #endif uint32_t __S6_align; /* Align on 32 bit boundary */ } _S6_un; };
We wold benefit from adding uint16_t _S6_u168 to this union for porting applications, which needs s6_addr16.
