Re: IPV6 RFC3542 compliance [PATCH]

[David Stevens <dlstevens@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PS -

I should've said clearly; with the patch I submitted as-is, all
old binaries should return EINVAL on the socket options
that have changed. That's because all of those (except the
new IPV6_TCLASS, which didn't exist before) have option
arguments greater than int-size.

Recompiling those programs will still result in the setsockopt()
returning EINVAL, until the source is fixed to change the
socket options to the IPV6_RECVx.

sendmsg() and recvmsg() processing in old binaries should
still work, as-is.

So, with that patch, programs using the old names will give
a strong indication of what needs fixing.
