It seems DnsServiceRegister can not work

Question

Hi, all:

I try to use this function to register a service.

code portion:

struct DNS_SERVICE_INSTANCE {

...

    IP4_ADDRESS *ip4Address;
    IP6_ADDRESS *ip6Address;

...

}

No matter how to fill ip4Address filed, got a address of stack variable, use new, use GlobalAlloc/LocalAlloc,

In the register callback ip4Address  is always a nullptr.

So can't query service information by other machine.

Thank you for your help.

Answer 1

Did you also try DnsServiceConstructInstance?

Answer 2

Hello WuLongyue,

IP4_ADDRESS is defined as a DWORD so you can assign it like this for example:

	IP4_ADDRESS ip4 = 0x00000001;
	DNS_SERVICE_INSTANCE si = { 0 };
	si.ip4Address = &ip4;

Please let me know if it works for you.

Best regards,

Rita

Answer 3

Thank you for your reply.

DnsServiceConstructInstance doesn't work too.

The ip4Address is still nullptr even if uses DnsServiceConstructInstance.

Answer 4

Thank you for your reply.

Your sample code doesn't work too.

All the other field like wPort, wPriority, wWeight, pszHostName have not problem.

Only ip4Address and ip6Address will become nullptr though I passed a valid pointer before to invoke the function.

Answer 5

Hello WuLongyue,

Thanks for confirmation.

Could you show a mini and reproducible sample? So we can do a further investigation.

Best regards,

Rita
