Problem
The
IsIPv6
function did not have a clear IPv4/IPv6 preference when resolving hostnames that have both A (IPv4) and AAAA (IPv6) DNS records. For example, when resolving "localhost", the function could inconsistently choose between IPv4 (127.0.0.1) and IPv6 (::1) addresses depending on DNS server behavior and system configuration. This led to socket binding issues in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments.Solution
Refactored
IsIPv6
to use separate DNS queries with explicit IPv4 preference:resolver.resolve(tcp::v4(), host, "0", ec_v4)
results.empty()
instead of iterator comparison for better compatibility across Boost versionsBefore

Changes
Impact
This change improves Ray's networking behavior in mixed IPv4/IPv6 environments:
Backward Compatibility
✅ Fully backward compatible - no breaking changes to API or behavior for literal IP addresses

Original prompt
我觉得我们应该尊重,
The following is a snapshot of a chat conversation between a user and an AI coding assistant. Prioritize later messages in the conversation.
User: look at IsIPv6, if host is domain name, it just first resolve its ip, but I need it take ipv4 first, if no, then ipv6
User: for IsIPv6, if hostname is localhost, it will first try to resolve to ip, but it does not take ipv4 first. I need to first try ipv4 ip, if no, then ipv6
AI:
AI: The function
IsIPv6
now resolves domain names by first checking for IPv4 addresses. If no IPv4 address is found, it will then check for IPv6 addresses, matching your requirements. Let me know if you need further changes or tests.User: 你认为这个逻辑对吗
AI: 这个逻辑是合理的,符合“优先使用IPv4,无IPv4时再用IPv6”的需求:
这样可以确保只在没有IPv4地址时才认为是IPv6。实际效果也与大多数网络库的“优先IPv4”行为一致。
User: 你认为endpoints有可能是空的吗
AI: 是的,
endpoints
有可能是空的。如果域名解析失败(比如域名不存在、网络异常、没有任何A/AAAA记录),
resolver.resolve(query)
返回的结果可能是空的(即没有任何endpoint)。此时,后续的 for 循环不会执行,最终会走到 return false。不过如果解析失败,通常会抛异常,被 catch 捕获并返回 false。只有解析成功但没有任何地址时,
endpoints
才是空的。实际情况较少,但理论上是可能的。User: 我认为这种情况会throw error的吧
AI: 你的理解是对的:如果域名解析失败(比如域名不存在、DNS不可达等),
resolver.resolve(query)
通常会抛出异常(比如boost::system::system_error
),而不是返回空的 endpoints。只有解析成功但没有任何结果时,endpoints 才可能为空,但这种情况极少见。绝大多数解析失败场景都会直接 throw,被 catch 捕获并处理。所以你可以认为“没有结果”时一般会抛异常。
User: 那你还认为我们的改动合理吗
AI: 是的,你们的改动依然合理。
原因如下:
整体来说,异常和空结果都被正确处理,且优先级逻辑清晰,代码健壮。
User: 但是你还有必要循环 // If no IPv4 found, try to find an IPv6 address
for (const auto &endpoint : endpoints) {
if (endpoint.endpoint().address().is_v6()) {
return true;
}
AI: 有必要这样循环。
原因如下:
所以,这个循环是必须的,不能只检查第一个 endpoint。这样才能保证只要有 IPv6就返回 true,否则返回 false。
User: 不是如果没有ipv4,那不就是ipv6了吗
AI: 不是的,如果没有IPv4,并不一定就有IPv6。
有些域名可能只解析出IPv4(没有AAAA记录),有些可能只解析出IPv6(没有A记录),还有些可能两者都没有(比如解析失败或没有相关记录)。
所以,只有在没有IPv4的情况下,还要继续检查是否有IPv6。如果都没有,则返回false。这个判断是必须的。
User: 如果没有ipv4,直接返回true?
AI: 不能直接返回 true。
正确逻辑是:如果没有 IPv4,还要检查是否有 IPv6。如果也没有 IPv6(比如域名没有 AAAA 记录),就应该返回 false。
只有在 endpoints 里确实有 IPv6 地址时,才返回 true。否则返回 false。这样才能准确判断。
User: 为什么?还可能有别的?
AI: 是的,还可能有别的情况:
所以,如果没有IPv4,不能直接认为一定有IPv6。必须遍历所有endpoint,确认是否真的有IPv6地址。如果都没有,应该返回false。这样才能保证逻辑严谨、结果准确。
User: 失败不是会有error吗
AI: 对,解析失败(比如域名不存在、DNS不可达等)会抛出异常(error),被 catch 住并返回 false。
但如果解析成功,只是没有IPv4或IPv6记录,不会抛异常,这时 endpoints 可能为空或只包含某种类型的地址。所以,异常和“没有相关记录”是两种不同情况,都需要分别处理。
User: #include <boost/asio.hpp>
bool IsIPv6(const std::string& host) {
// 1) 字面量:直接判定
boost::system::error_code ec;
auto addr = boost::asio::ip::make_address(host, ec);
if (!ec) {
return addr.is_v6();
}
// 2) 域名:分别解析 v4 与 v6;若有 v4 则优先 v4(返回 false)
boost::asio::io_context io;
boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver resolver(io);
// 2.1 先查 IPv4
boost::system::error_code ec_v4;
auto it_v4 = resolver.resolve(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v4(), host, "0", ec_v4);
if (!ec_v4 && it_v4 != boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator{}) {
return false; // 有 A 记录 → 优先 IPv4
}
// 2.2 再查 IPv6
boost::system::error_code ec_v6;
auto it_v6 = resolver.resolve(boost::asio::ip::tcp::v6(), host, "0", ec_v6);
if (!ec_v6 && it_v6 != boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::iterator{}) {
return true; // 没有 A,有 AAAA → 用 IPv6
}
// 解析失败或没有任何记录:按 IPv4 返回(更安全)
return false;
}
改成类似这样,最小改动哈
AI: 我会按照你的建议,最小改动地重构
IsIPv6
函数,使用分别解析 IPv4 和 IPv6 的方式:AI:
AI: 已经按照你的建议重构了
IsIPv6
函数。主要改动:tcp::v4()
查询 A 记录,如果有则返回 false(优先 IPv4)tcp::v6()
查询 AAAA 记录,如果有则返回 true这样避免了异常处理,使用了更直接的错误码检查,逻辑更清晰,性能也更好。
User: 但我觉得如果解析失败,需要log,然后你觉得这样两次解析好,还是一次更好呢
AI: 你说得对,解析失败需要log。关于两次解析vs一次解析,我觉得一次解析更好,原因:
让我把代码改回一次解析的方式,但加上更好的错误处理:
AI:
AI: 我改回了一次解析的方式,因为:
这样既保持了"优先IPv4"的逻辑,又避免了不必要的重复DNS查询。
User: 你觉得还能优化吗,目前有两个for循环
AI: 是的,可以优化成一个循环!我们可以在第一次遍历时就收集信息,避免重复遍历:
AI:
AI: 优化后的代码只用一个循环:
这样既保持了"优先IPv4"的逻辑,又减少了时间复杂度。
User: resolver.resolve
这个获得的ip一定是能工作的ip吗,还是不一定的呢
AI:
resolver.resolve
获得的IP不一定是能工作的IP。原因如下:DNS解析成功 ≠ IP可达:DNS只是返回域名对应的IP记录,不保证这些IP地址当前可用或可达
