Inconsistent behaviour on TCPSocket#recvfrom

[sponomarev]

Here is a scenario to reproduce

# server.rb. No matter on which Ruby version it's running
require 'socket'

server = TCPServer.open(2000)
loop {
   Thread.start(server.accept) do |client|
      client.puts "Hello world"
      client.close  
   end
}

# client.rb
require 'socket'

socket = TCPSocket.open('localhost', "2000")

puts socket.recvfrom(2000)
# Server closes the connection here
puts socket.recvfrom(2000)

MRI result

$ ruby client.rb
Hello world

Truffle result

$ ruby client.rb
/Users/toad/.rbenv/versions/truffleruby-1.0.0-rc10/lib/truffle/socket/addrinfo.rb:207:in `ip_address': An IPv4/IPv6 address is required (SocketError)
	from /Users/toad/.rbenv/versions/truffleruby-1.0.0-rc10/lib/truffle/socket/ip_socket.rb:48:in `recvfrom'
	from client.rb:5:in `<main>'

The underlying reason for the failure is here:

truffleruby/lib/truffle/socket/ip_socket.rb

Lines 53 to 54 in ab0dda4

	addrinfos = Socket.getaddrinfo(addr.ip_address, nil, addr.afamily,
	addr.socktype, addr.protocol, 0, true)

truffleruby/lib/truffle/socket/basic_socket.rb

Line 204 in ab0dda4

addr = Addrinfo.new([Socket::AF_UNSPEC], nil, socket_type)

Unfortunately, I have no idea about the motivation for these decisions.

Thank you for the report.
It's not intentional, i.e. it's a bug as we intend to be fully compatible with MRI (as written in the documentation).
