Guess so. I've no objection including loopback in get_interfaces. I
excluded it thinking that there is no point returning it as get_ips will
ignore it. What about something like below as a replacement to v2 (this
version starts to use if_nameindex instead of getifaddrs)?

+static char** lxcapi_get_interfaces(struct lxc_container *c)
+{
+       int count = 0;
+       struct if_nameindex *if_ni = NULL, *i;
+       char **interfaces = NULL, **temp;
+       int old_netns = -1, new_netns = -1;
+
+       if (!enter_to_ns(c, &old_netns, &new_netns))
+               goto out;
+
+       if_ni = if_nameindex();
+       if (if_ni == NULL) {
+               SYSERROR("failed to get interfaces list");
+               goto out;
+       }
+
+    for (i = if_ni; ! (i->if_index == 0 && i->if_name == NULL); i++) {
+        count += 1;
+        temp = realloc(interfaces, count * sizeof(*interfaces));
+        if (!temp) {
+            count -= 1;
+            goto out;
+        }
+        interfaces = temp;
+        interfaces[count - 1] = strdup(i->if_name);
+    }
+
+out:
+       if_freenameindex(if_ni);
+
+       exit_from_ns(c, &old_netns, &new_netns);
+
+       /* Append NULL to the array */
+       interfaces = (char **)lxc_append_null_to_array((void **)interfaces,
count);
+
+       return interfaces;
+}

And if we need get_ips to return ips then I guess we can always add a flag
to get_ips as you suggested before?
