That's all C++ syntax.

FinderConstants::FINDER_DEFAULT_HOST() is a method inside class
FinderConstants (see libxipc/finder_constants.hh).
It returns IPv4 address (see libxorp/ipv4.hh).
The str() method for the IPv4 address class returns a C++ string.
That string itself is assigned to variable "finder_hostname".

Hope that helps,
