There are two different definitions of inet_aton for Windows:


Declarations, not definitions.  The definitions are in...


the one in  epan/inet_aton.h


epan/inet_aton.c and...


and the one in adns.h.


ADNS.


Is this a bug or the way it should be?
It's the way it should be. epan/inet_aton.c is there to support platforms that lack inet_aton(), so it belongs there.
I guess Windows is such a platform; ADNS, as per your other mail, apparently supplies its own, buggy, inet_aton(), but our own inet_aton.{c,h} antedates support for ADNS in Ethereal.
