Motivation: When getaddrinfo fails, SwiftNIO throws SocketAddressError.unknown which discards the error code. This makes it impossible for callers to distinguish between different failure reasons (e.g., EAI_NONAME vs EAI_AGAIN), which is needed for retry logic and diagnostics. Modifications: - Add SocketAddressError.UnknownHost struct that carries host, port, errorCode (from getaddrinfo), and errorDescription (from gai_strerror). - Update SocketAddress.makeAddressResolvingHost and GetaddrinfoResolver to throw/fail with the new error type on both POSIX and Windows paths. - Update existing test catch blocks to use the new error type. - Add testGetaddrinfoErrorCodeIsPreserved to verify the error code is captured Result: Callers can now inspect the getaddrinfo error code when host resolution fails, enabling more specific error handling.

As observed by @weissi #3382
Motivation:
When
getaddrinfofails, SwiftNIO throwsSocketAddressError.unknownwhich discards the error code. This makes it impossible for callers todistinguish between different failure reasons (e.g.,
EAI_NONAMEvsEAI_AGAIN), which is needed for retry logic and diagnostics.Modifications:
SocketAddressError.UnknownHoststruct that carrieshost,port,errorCode(fromgetaddrinfo), anderrorDescription(fromgai_strerror).SocketAddress.makeAddressResolvingHostandGetaddrinfoResolverto throw/fail with the new error type on both POSIX and Windows paths.testGetaddrinfoErrorCodeIsPreservedto verify the error code is captured.Result:
Callers can now inspect the
getaddrinfoerror code when host resolution fails, enabling more specific error handling. Resolves #3382Questions for reviewer
Should
case unknown(host:port:)be deprecated? — This enum case is no longer thrown after this PR. Callers catching.unknownwill silently stop matching. Should I add@available(*, deprecated, renamed: "UnknownHost")to provide a migration path?Should the doc comment on
makeAddressResolvingHostbe updated? — The- Throws:line still referencesSocketAddressError.unknowninstead of the newSocketAddressError.UnknownHost.
