[vlc-devel] [Patch] IPv6 hostname resolving on Win32

[Jeroen Massar]

Hi,

Due to the fact that I rather enter udp:@radio.unfix.org:1833
instead of udp:@[ff3e:3c:3ffe:8114:2000:240:8008:ad10]:1833 ;)

I removed the AI_NUMERICHOST as that would cause only numeric
hosts to be resolved, next to that ==0 -> false thus the above
would always fail on windows boxes, odd that it didn't fail while
using IPv6 addresses though. I also added a memset() to the second
part to make sure that the hints for the following getaddrinfo()
where empty, even though most OS/libc's clear malloc()'d mem, one
should never depend on it ;)
