Willy reported that since3ac79b504("MEDIUM: server: make server_set_inetaddr() updater serializable"), haproxy fails to compile on some older compilers such as gcc-4.4 with this kind of error: src/server.c: In function 'snr_resolution_cb': src/server.c:4471: error: unknown field 'dns_resolver' specified in initializer compilation terminated due to -Wfatal-errors. make: *** [Makefile:1006: src/server.o] Error 1 This is due to referencing a member inside anonymous union from a compound literal assignment. Apparently such use of anonymous union wasn't properly supported back then on older compilers. To fix the issue, we give "u" name to the parent union use this name to explicitly refer to the union where relevant in the code (only a few changes fortunately). The fix itself was verified to restore build compatibility with gcc 4.4 (and even 4.2). As3ac79b504is used as a prerequisite for64c9c8ef3("BUG/MINOR: server/dns: use server_set_inetaddr() to unset srv addr from DNS"), please consider backporting this patch too if64c9c8ef3happens to be backported in 2.9.
