[lwip-devel] [task #13729] Convert netif addresses (IPv4 & IPv6) to ip_addr_t

[Valery Ushakov]

Follow-up Comment #4, task #13729 (project lwip):

I know I'm a bit late, but why this was even necessary?  Why pretend that an
IPv6 address of the interface may be anything but an IPv6 address and use
generic ip_addr_t for only to use ip_2_ip6 macro practically every time you
need to use it?

The same goes for IPv4 address/mask.

Note that the functions declared in netif.h specific to IPv4 or IPv6 still use
ip4_addr_t or ip6_addr_t arguments respectively.

So why all the contortions?
