[PATCH] nsock_core.c unsigned int compilation error

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

Hi,

 

I recently tried compiling Nmap from SVN and was surprised to see it was
failing on Windows! It seems that nsock_core.c was trying to pass an
unsigned integer value (peerlen) to recvfrom when it was expecting an
integer (according to Visual C++ 2008 SP1). As peerlen holds the rather
small value returned from "sizeof(peer)", I'm pretty sure (but I'm not that
hot on C) that it's fine to simply remove the word "unsigned", and this does
appear to allow Nmap to compile and run okay on Windows (only tested it
briefly). I hope I've fixed it correctly.

 

Rob
