Thanks, I think this keeps add_domainname() a lot cleaner. There are a few problems:

Our style is to put whitespace between operators (so "int status = -1;", and other places below).

This line (and the others) was also indented with spaces, not tabs.

We do C89-style no-decl-after-statement. But this "gai" is only used once, so we can just lump it into the next conditional.

I think you are missing a "return status" here.

We always put conditional bodies on the next line, even if they are one-liners.

Here's what I've queued, addressing those. No need to re-send if you're happy with it:

Subject: [PATCH] ident.c: add support for IPv6

Add IPv6 support by implementing name resolution with the protocol agnostic getaddrinfo(3) API. The old gethostbyname(3) code is still available when git is compiled with NO_IPV6.
