Re: [reSIProcate] thread-safe version of gethostbyname for mac OSX
Jason,
The gethostbyname() family was made thread safe in OS X 10.2 (stated
on page 8 in here: http://developer.apple.com/technotes/tn2002/pdf/
tn2053.pdf). They don't say how they did it and the interface didn't
change, so I would expect it to block other threads making the same
call. Unfortunately, the man page is from 1995, so it is not
accurate or helpful in this regard.

Is there a version of gethostbyname that is thread-safe on MAC? On
most operating systems there is a function gethostbyname_r that is
thread-safe. gethostbyname returns a pointer to static memory and is
thus not reentrant. Trying to fix DnsUtil for MAC.
Can Mac folks chime in here.
