Re: darcs patch: Implementation of aton and ntoa outside the IO monad

Erk, I just realised this patch is completely wrong since the HostAddress will be totally different depending on the endianness of the platform. I'm looking into writing some utilities for handling endianness etc since it would be nice to be able to do I/O with raw bytes in haskell. In the meantime, please ignore this patch.

inet_ntoa and inet_aton can be implemented purely to avoid the need for the IO monad. Additionally, inet_addr is currently incorrect due to using the inet_addr C function which is considered obsolete due to incorrectly failing while converting 255.255.255.255 as an address. _______________________________________________ Libraries mailing list Libraries@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/libraries -- Robert Marlow
