[New-bugs-announce] [issue34411] ProactorEventLoop should use implement GetAddrInfo, GetNameInfo

[ysangkok+launchpad]

New submission from ysangkok+launchpad <ysangkok at gmail.com>:

Since socket.getaddrinfo and socket.getnameinfo take a lock on Windows, it would be nice to have their corresponding methods in asyncio.ProactorEventLoop use IOCP, so that they wouldn't block the whole event loop.

Overlapped I/O flags are available, so I am wondering how hard this would be: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/api/ws2tcpip/nf-ws2tcpip-getaddrinfoexa
