Getaddrinfo() on glibc calls getenv(), oh boy

Re:Getaddrinfo() on glibc calls getenv(), oh boy by JackSlateur on Tuesday October 17, 2023 @08:18AM (#37913824)

So, I have a program that does getaddrinfo(3) and nothing more, and this program setup a socket, listen(2) to it, create another socket and connect with it to the first one ?

This looks insane and not what strace(1) tells me

Could you give me more details ?

I didn't know glibc didn't do the same thing. `getaddrinfo()` on Windows seems to do this because randomly a program will try to connect to `::1:59962` or something, and if I don't allow it in my firewall, it will start whining that some getaddrinfo thread failed to start. This has happened across all sorts of different programs. It's infuriating.
