[lwip-devel] [bug #21656] recvmbox problem in netconn API (netconn_recv and others)

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #21656 (project lwip):

I though about that name, too. But I was thinking of a rather different
solution: All the do_* functions were functions in the function table (up to
the last release version...) and should now be functions that take a strut
api_msg_msg as argument. I think the other functions (do_gethostbyname and
netconn_alloc_with_proto_and_callback) should have a prefix that doesn't make
you think they also take a struct api_msg_msg as and argument.

So while I also think netconn_alloc_with_proto_and_callback is not a good
name, a do_ prefix isn't the best solution...

Maybe api_gethostbyname and api_allocnetconn (plus api_drainconn) so that we
have api_ as a prefix for the non-api_msg_msg functions?
