Description

I have custom pcb with esp32 and ethernet module connected with SPI interface. I use Arduino IDE and Arduino Ethernet library. It is working with esp32:3.0.0-alpha3 but it is not compatible with esp32:3.0.0-rc2. Etherent library uses IPAddress::raw_address function which is private. In previous versions IPAddress defined EthernetClass, DhcpClass and DNSClient as friend. In recent update onlu classes UDP, Client and Server are declared as friends. Because of that change I can't use Arduino Ethernet library. Can You change it back?

Sketch

#include <Ethernet.h>

String x = Ethernet.localIP().toString();

Debug Message

/home/ABC/Arduino/libraries/Ethernet/src/Dns.cpp: In member function 'uint16_t DNSClient::ProcessResponse(uint16_t, IPAddress&)':

What is Ethernet.h? It doers not seem to be from our repository. We have ETH.h

[JAndrassy]

@me-no-dev "Ethernet library" is always the Arduino Ethernet library for W5500. The 16 years old and still used first Arduino networking library which established the Arduino networking API.
https://www.arduino.cc/reference/en/libraries/ethernet/

My PR #9522 offered a compatibility of ESP32 Ethernet library with the Arduino library API

[me-no-dev]

If this is not a project that will run on non-ESP MCUs, then using our ETH library is much better offering than any other Ethernet lib. API is not all that different and is tightly integrated into ESPs network stack

[kkrygiel]

Maybe You can leave those 3 lines with friends declaration so We can use old Ethernet library in case we need support for many MCUs?

[me-no-dev]

@kkrygiel will add those, but I still recommend you to look into our ethernet implementation for best experience.
@JAndrassy maybe you can think of a header-only wrapper that can be included instead of Ethernet.h for people that would want that backward compatibility (not included by default and not using memory when not included)

@me-no-dev that was my plan but it required just a little more code than I would put into a header. but the cpp in https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/9522/files is simple
