Description of Changes
Merge code related to getting a network adapter.
Corrected the buffer type used for
GetAdaptersAddresses()
, as other structures where also placed in there.Replace C-Style casts with C++ equivalents.
It may be easier to review each commit one by one rather than the whole pr at once
Rationale behind Changes
This effort was mostly born this #10937 (comment), regarding type punning
The socket api does not make it easy to avoid UB type punning, due to strict aliasing rules, The general consensus appears to be that these types are passed in an aliased form and we just cast back to get the true type.
Suggested Testing Steps
Test connection with pcap. sockets and tap
Test the above (where supported) on Windows, Linux and FreeBSD/Mac
