socket bind convert ipv4 to support both ipv4 and ipv6

What is the difference between these two bind methods?
1. In the first one I am setting sin_addr to 0 and the application was accepting IPv4 only.
2. in the second one I am using getaddrinfo as I need to start listening on IPv6 also.

Case 1 is older code and I am not sure why the sin_addr was set to 0 and not the actual ip address of server. I need to convert to support ipv6 also but not sure if i convert to getaddrinfo, i would break something?

int fd;
       int sock_type =  SOCK_STREAM;

        if ((fd = socket(AF_INET, sock_type, IPPROTO_TCP)) < 0) {
              // ERROR 
        }

        int port  = 5000;
        struct sockaddr_in sin;
        memset((char *)&sin, 0, sizeof (sin));
        sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
        sin.sin_addr.s_addr = 0;  // SET to ZERO
        sin.sin_port = htons(port);

        while (bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sin, sizeof(sin)) < 0)
        {
                // sleep for fews and retry and succeed
        }

	hints.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE; // Use address return by getaddrinfo in bind() return addrinfo will have INADDR_ANY set to IPv4 adress and INADDR6_ANY_INIT for IPv6 address
	hints.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;  // return both the family AF_INET and AF_INET6 address structures
	hints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
	hints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
        

        getaddrinfo(NULL, "5000", &hints, &results));

                      int  fd = socket(results->ai_family, results->ai_socktype, results->ai_protocol)

                      while (bind(fd, results->ai_addr, results->ai_addrlen)  < 0) {

               }
         } while ( (results=results->ai_next) != NULL);
