[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v7 2/5] sockets: Change inet_parse() to accept address specification without port

[Bharata B Rao]

sockets: Change inet_parse() to accept address specification without port

From: Bharata B Rao <address@hidden>

inet_parse() expects address:port. Change it to work without explicit port
specification. In addition, don't depend solely on the return value of
sscanf but also consider the value obtained for %n directive used in sscanf.
This ensures that the scanning of malformed inet address isn't flagged as
success.
