> THRIFT-2539 has been reported, and fixed — but for win32 only, for no apparent reason. The exact same problem reproduces on POSIX.
> Namely, when no network interfaces besides {{lo}} (the 127.0.0.1 loopback interface) are up, C++ and Python apps linked with Thrift-generated code, both clients and servers — *crash by throwing an exception*. Even when the intention is exactly to run them on localhost only.
> This happens because Thrift library code for TSocket, TServerSocket, TNonblockingServerSocket calls [{{getaddrinfo()}}|http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/getaddrinfo.3.html] to resolve target hostname to connect to/listen on, into concrete IP address (v4 or v6, whichever the system is configured for). To that call, it *passes the {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}} hint* which effectively turns a localhost-only situation into:
> {quote}{{Could not resolve host for client socket.}}
> {quote}
> and into this (server-side):
> {code:java}
> гру 23 13:52:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: db_cache.service: Main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
> гру 23 13:52:13 localhost.localdomain systemd[1]: db_cache.service: Failed with result 'core-dump'.
> гру 23 13:52:17 localhost.localdomain db_cache[12912]: Thrift: Mon Dec 23 13:52:15 2019 TSocket::open() getaddrinfo() <Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 1302>Address family for hostname not supported

> гру 23 13:52:17 localhost.localdomain db_cache[12912]: terminate called after throwing an instance of 'apache::thrift::transport::TTransportException'
> гру 23 13:52:17 localhost.localdomain db_cache[12912]: what(): Could not resolve host for server socket.
> {code}
> I fail to understand the original reason to pass that {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}} hint. It shouldn't be there as I see it.
> Further, since Thrift 0.9.2, windows builds of thrift apps don't pass that hint anymore (see THRIFT-2539), and it seems to be okay.
> For comprehension, I'm attaching a sample patch to remove {{AI_ADDRCONFIG}} from {{lib/cpp}} and {{lib/py}}. The main change will be landing via GitHub, per Thrift's contribution process, so please follow there too.
