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.
