struct sockaddr * that it casts internally to the appropriate type based on
sa_family. However, struct sockaddr has very lax alignment requirements,
which causes the compiler to complain when you cast a struct sockaddr * to,
say, a struct sockaddr_in6 *.
I find it reasonable to assume that the pointer we received is in fact
correctly aligned. Therefore, we can work around the compiler warnings by
casting to void * before casting to the desired type. For readability's
sake, this is done with macros.
The same technique should prove useful in other parts of the tree that
deal with socket addresses.
MFC after: 3 weeks
via IPv6, the hostname is trimed due to the length of IPv6 address.
This change saves it as possible.
I have a grudge against the shortage of UT_HOSTSIZE.
when connecting via IPv6, hostname was not recorded to utmp anymore.
Because, if hostname is longer than buffer size, getnameinfo() returns
with ENI_MEMORY.
