Hi all,
I did my first bit of coding on win32 last month, and was disgusted
to find no socketpair. Cygwin's socketpair (at least the version I
found) seems to use _pipe underneath, which as I understand it is not
suitable as an argument to select(). So, I wrote my own:
http://cantrip.org/socketpair.c
which as you may observe is licensed compatibly with cygwin.
Use it if you like, with whatever argument-list changes it needs to
conform to POSIX. (Apparently AF_LOCAL/PF_LOCAL, normally passed to
socketpair, isn't defined in win32, but I presume cygwin can supply
that.)
I'm not subscribed to this list, so copy to me anything you think
I should see. I would welcome notes hinting at which release of
cygwin this gets installed in, if any (e.g. "I put it in today")
and any problems encountered.
