Stupid question: has something be made (new API, mechanism, etc...)
in Panther to improve the speed and thread safety of gethostbyname()?
Mac OS X 10.3 introduces a new API, CFHost, that allows you to do
asynchronous lookup.
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/CFHostSample/CFHostSample.html>
This should solve your threading issue. As to the speed, well that's
an entirely separate problem.
Speed is the top priority (i.e. I can give up the thread part if
needed) as I think I don't need all the extra work made by
gethostbyname to try to get an answer and a good one.
I will have a look at the res_query API suggested by J. Graessley.
Having to parse the answer (hoping that there's a RCF and it's
respected) is a minor pain if I can gain speed.
