Re: [Boost-users] [ASIO] Resolver question

Leading zeros in an IP octet indicate octal.

If you ping 192.168.077.1 from both Linux and Windows you get

...

ping 192.168.077.1 PING 192.168.077.1 (192.168.63.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

Note how it converted 077 to 63. The problem seems to be is that apart from the name, there is nothing

192.168.077.1 Server: 192.168.3.1 Address: 192.168.3.1#53

Name: 192.168.077.1 Address: 192.168.77.1 Regardless, the ambiguity seems stronger than what I initially thought. Cheers, Leon

If you still need to remove leading zeroes from the address, consider using Boost.Regex (or stdlib regex if you have a C++11 toolset).

The regular expression "\b0+(?=[1-9])" will match one or more leading zeroes that precede a non-zero digit. Replace each match with an empty string.
