@randall77 requested issue #71302 to be considered for backport to the next 1.24 minor release.
Ok, that's good. I'll get that CL in soon.
I think the remaining question is, should we backport?
In favor:
- This could cause really weird behavior and/or corruption on darwin/amd64. There is only one stdlib call affected (
syscall/Getnameinfo
), but several inx.sys
(Connectx
for freebsd,mmap
for netbsd, dragonfly).darwin/amd64
is a first-class port.In opposition:
- This has always been broken (since introduced in late 2022). It is not a regression from 1.24.
- Only the
Connectx
failure has been noticed.I'm leaning towards backporting. The fix is pretty simple and the unfixed behavior is very hard to debug and/or work around.
@gopherbot please open backport issues
