Bind to INADDR_LOOPBACK fails

[monsti]

Hi,

the following example code - gaken from samples/net/simple fails.

I want to bind only to INADDR_LOOPBACK.

Code: Select all

    uint16_t port = 10000;
    int sock;
    int ret;
    struct sockaddr_in name;

    sock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    if&#40;sock < 0&#41;
    &#123;
        return;
    &#125;

    name.sin_port =  htons&#40;port&#41;;
    name.sin_family = AF_INET;
    //name.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl &#40;INADDR_LOOPBACK&#41;; // fails - why?
    name.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl&#40;INADDR_ANY&#41;; // works...

    ret = bind&#40;sock, &#40;struct sockaddr *&#41; &name, sizeof&#40;name&#41;&#41;;
    if&#40;ret < 0&#41;
    &#123;
       printf&#40; "bind failed...\n" &#41;;
        return;
    &#125;

Any idea?

The PSP is not Unix... AFAIK it has no loopback interface.
