I do not want to resolve the loopback address through naming services such as /etc/hosts file.

loopback address can exist even if /etc/hosts file dosn't have an entry indicating it.

Why do you complicate your life that way

Actually it was pathetically simple.

Yes I know that it was simple but you are suggesting to the OP that each time he has to copy a string, he should use this code.

Honnestly, I really don't think it is a good idea

Cedric Moonen wrote:

because it makes the code much more difficult to understand (suppose that you repeat that code in a lot of places in your code Dead ).

And apparently, that's what the OP is going to do instead of using one of the "built in" mechanism

(I know, that's, well..., ugly! )

q=p;
