Question about getaddrinfo in Inet4AddressImpl.c

[Charles Lee]

Hi guys,

I am reading some native code in the jdk repos. I find that in 
Inet4AddressImpl.c (folder solaris), gethostbyname is used. Meanwhile in 
the Inet6AddressImpl.c. getaddrinfo is used. My question is why inet4 
does not use getaddrinfo? Any concern here?

There are some pros I can see if getaddrinfo is used in the 
Inet4AddressImpl:
1. Code will look more clean and portable :-)
2. __GLIBC__ can be omitted. I have grep the __GLIBC__ in the jdk/src 
directories, only Inet4AddressImpl use it.
