    Problem Summary PG4U.00083 The IR claims that EINVAL is a valid error return for this test.
    Problem Text
    We believe this is a test suite deficiency.

    The X/Open CAE Specification (1994) Networking Services, Issue 4 states
    that, for connect, EINVAL may be returned if there is an invalid address
    family in the sockaddr structure.

    Our implementation checks this first since our processing has not gone
    far enough, at this point, to look at the address itself. But, if
    INET sockaddr is specified to the UNIX file system it is already
    apparent that this is an invalid scenario.
    We believe that either EINVAL or EAFNOSUPPORT should be valid errnos for
    this test case.
    Test Output
    TEST PURPOSE #12
    If the implementation supports a communications domain
    and a socket type:
    EAFNOSUPPORT in errno and return -1 on a call to int
    connect(int socket, const struct sockaddr *address,
    size_t address_len) when address is not valid for the
    address family of the socket.
    TEST: AF_INET SOCK_STREAM
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_in: address = 198.151.241.50, port = 3101
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_un: path = ../tmp/unix.hBfcxQ
    PREP: Create socket
    TEST: Connect to socket with AF_UNIX address
    TEST: Return value
    TEST: errno value
    CLEANUP: Close socket
    TEST: AF_UNIX SOCK_STREAM
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_in: address = 198.151.241.50, port = 3102
    PREP: Create test sockaddr_un: path = ../tmp/unix.cCGbxQ
    PREP: Create socket
    TEST: connect with AF_INET address
    TEST: Return value
    TEST: errno value
    ERROR: connect call failed incorrectly, errno was 121(EINVAL - Invalid argument) should have been EAFNOSUPPORT

    Completed null
    Status Complete
    Review Recommendation No Resolution Given
    Review Response
    We recommend this request be refused.

    We believe that EINVAL is reserved for use where the address
    family in the sockaddr is not implemented by the IUT, or where
    the address specified in the sockaddr is clearly invalid for the
    address family specified in the sockaddr.

    Since the AF_INET address family is specified in the sockaddr used
    by the test and the address specified is a valid AF_INET address,
    EINVAL should not be returned.

    If the submitter's argument were true there would be no need for
    an EAFNOSUPPORT error condition. It would be identical to one
    of the possible EINVAL conditions.
