Annotated Server Code with Checkv4 Output (Windows CE 5.0)
The Checkv4 utility can help you find code that is sensitive to using in a version-independent scenario. Checkv4 provides enough information to get you started on changing your code.
These examples show the Checkv4 output for the server code that you created in How to Convert an Application from IPv4 to IPv4/IPv6, and annotated code that describes the changes that you must make for the application to support both IPv4 and IPv6.
The following commenting conventions are used in the code example.
Commenting convention | Description |
---|---|
//checkv4 comment: <comment> | Code included in the checkv4 output |
// Begin changes not included in the checkv4 output: <change needed>
<code> //End changes. |
Code to be changed |
The following shows the Checkv4.exe output for the server code:
server.cpp(40) : sockaddr_in : use sockaddr_storage instead, or use sockaddr_in6 in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(43) : hostent : use addrinfo instead
server.cpp(63) : AF_INET : use AF_INET6 in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(75) : AF_INET : use AF_INET6 in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(76) : INADDR_ANY : use getaddrinfo with nodename=NULL and AI_PASSIVE instead, or use in6addr_any in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(167) : AF_INET : use AF_INET6 in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(167) : gethostbyaddr : use getnameinfo instead
server.cpp(176) : in_addr : use in6_addr in addition for IPv6 support
server.cpp(176) : inet_ntoa : use WSAAddressToString or getnameinfo with NI_NUMERICHOST instead
Annotated IPv4-Only Source Code
The following IPv4-only server source code example shows code that is annotated with changes you should make to fully support IPv4 and IPv6:
