Previously, I used a shell script to extract modification date ranges
from the Git history, but that was complicated and unreliable, so now
every file just gets the same year range in its copyright header. If
someone needs to know when a specific file was modified and by whom,
they can look at the Git history themselves; no need to include it
redundantly in the header.
gethostbyname may return any combination of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses,
and it's not safe to assume the first address is IPv4, which is all
our code is currently prepared to handle. In contrast, getaddrinfo
allows us to specify whether we want IPv4, IPv6, or both.
We should eventually make this switch on Windows as well, but the
status of getaddrinfo in Windows 2000 is not clear, and MinGW's
ws2tcpip.h only declares it for XP and above.
This commit also adds InetAddress.getByName for explicit DNS lookups.
In java-nio.cpp, we can't use GetPrimitiveArrayCritical when reading
from or writing to blocking sockets since it may block the rest of the
VM indefinitely.
In SelectableChannel.java, we can't use a null test on
SelectableChannel.key to determine whether the channel is open since
it might never be registered with a Selector. According to the Sun
documentation, a SelectableChannel is open as soon as it's created, so
that's what we now implement.
On POSIX systems, Avian sends a special signal to a thread to
implement Thread.getStackTrace() when called from a different thread.
If the target thread is blocked on a call to accept when this happens,
it will return -1, with errno set to EINTR. Instead of treating this
as an error, we now just loop and call accept again.
and server socket channels are implemented. This version works but only when
libnative is linked with g++ (because of C++ object creation code that fails
without this linking)
