RE : [lwip-users] LWIP_COMPAT_SOCKETS in sockets.h

[Frédéric BERNON]

Hi Kieran,

Yes, read, write and close are usually used for files in "unistd.h". So, if in 
a same code, you have to use files and sockets, there is a problem. You got 
compilation errors like : 

"...\include\unistd.h (89) : error: declaration is incompatible with "int 
lwip_write(int, void *, int)" (declared at line 256 of "C:\lwip\sockets.h") "

I belive that close, read and write functions are defined by POSIX.1 . In my 
"unistd.h" file, write is declared as :

extern  ssize_t         write(int fildes, const void *buf, size_t nbyte);

But decide if a call to write() (by example) use the IP stack or the storage 
filesystem is done by a layer between ip stack and application, and not 
directly from ip stack (it is based on a internal "file descriptor" field).

Why are read, write, and close special cases?  Because they can apply to things 
other than sockets perhaps?  Seems odd to #define some of the functions to 
standard names, but leave others as lwip_<blah>()
