curl_hostip.c explained
==================
The main COMPILE-TIME DEFINES to keep in mind when reading the curl_host*.c
source file are these:
CURLRES_IPV6 - this host has getaddrinfo() and family, and thus we use
that. The host may not be able to resolve IPv6, but we don't really have to
take that into account. Hosts that aren't IPv6-enabled have CURLRES_IPV4
defined.
CURLRES_ARES - is defined if libcurl is built to use c-ares for asynchronous
name resolves. It cannot have ENABLE_IPV6 defined at the same time, as c-ares
has no ipv6 support. This can be Windows or *nix.
CURLRES_THREADED - is defined if libcurl is built to run under (native)
Windows, and then the name resolve will be done in a new thread, and the
supported asynch API will be the same as for ares-builds.
If any of the two previous are defined, CURLRES_ASYNCH is defined too. If
libcurl is not built to use an asynchronous resolver, CURLRES_SYNCH is
defined.
The curl_host*.c sources files are split up like this:
curl_hostip.c - method-independent resolver functions and utility functions
curl_hostasyn.c - functions for asynchronous name resolves
curl_hostsyn.c - functions for synchronous name resolves
curl_hostares.c - functions for ares-using name resolves
curl_hostthre.c - functions for threaded name resolves
curl_hostip4.c - ipv4-specific functions
curl_hostip6.c - ipv6-specific functions
The curl_hostip.h is the single united header file for all this. It defines
the CURLRES_* defines based on the config*.h and curl_setup.h defines.
