Re: getsockname problem

I've run into a problem where getsockname() doesn't work as expected. Below is a test program where it fails under cygwin but runs on any other Unix/Linux system. I searched the mail archives for any limitations

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {

  struct sockaddr_in sa;
  socklen_t len = sizeof sa;
  int s, rc;

  s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMP);
  printf("socket = %d\nlength = %d\n", s, len);

  rc = getsockname(s, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, &len);
  printf("getsockname rc = %d\nreturned length = %d\n", rc, len);
  perror("getsockname");

return rc;

}
well,,, not 'any' other linux system...

$ ./getsockname
socket = -1
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Bad file descriptor

similar failed response on WinXP
$ ./getsockname
socket = 3
length = 16
getsockname rc = -1
returned length = 16
getsockname: Invalid argument

perhaps a re-coding is in order...
