January 2019, Florian Weimer created the issue "Deprecate inet_addr, inet_aton" in glibc:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24111

inet_aton() ignores extra string "for historic reasons". More info at:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20018#c0

"For historic reasons, inet_addr and inet_aton accept trailing garbage.  Some parsers rely on this (for example, libresolv when it parses “nameserver” directives in /etc/resolv.conf)."

To clarify the complex situation: glibc getaddrinfo() has been fixed in glibc to ignore extra string, but not inet_aton(). getaddrinfo() fix:
