According to documentation,
local_ip()function retrieves the local IPv4 address (andlocal_ipv6()retrieves the local IPv6 address), but why inside return type is generalIpAddrenum instead ofIpv4AddrandIpv6Addr? I think it's confusing and inconvenient for user.
Hi @amateomi! Thanks for openning this issue!
This is because at first, only IPv4 Addresses were used. Then, with changes and contributions the need of a specific IP version came up.
It it was for me today, I would introduce these funcions as follows:
local_ip() -> IpAddrlocal_ipv4() -> Ipv4Addrlocal_ipv6() -> Ipv6Addr
If we want to go this way, we would have to revisit each OS impl and also draft a major release (thus dropping backwards).
