Sure, -1 means "kernel default" for setsockopt(), but it is not specified for getsockopt(). > The following patch seems to work for me, but this code has behaved > this way for a while, so don't know if it will break any existing > apps. Google Codesearch for "getsockopt IPV6_MULTICAST_HOPS" yields a bunch of apps that seem to assume a valid hop limit is returned, none of which detects -1. I believe applying your patch would fix much more apps than it is going to break. Hopefully those not handling -1 will somehow cast it to 255 if it is ever re-used, but I can also imagine some broken SDP-or-similar with "/-1" or "/4294967295" as a hop limit.
