[Monotone-devel] Fwd: monotone win32 socketpair

[Thomas Keller]

Hi!

Could a windows developer check and eventually incorporate this new code
into monotone if its still there?
From what I've seen we already set the option in question in
netxx/socketopt.cxx (set_reuse_address), which is called from
Netxx::ServerBase::bind_to().

Thanks in advance,
Thomas.

Hi Thomas,

I was given to understand that a snippet of code I wrote
was incorporated into Monotone by Matthew Gregan back in 2007.
It implemented a selectable socketpair on win32, something
lacking in MS's posix compatibility library.

I have a new version of this socketpair now maintained at

  http://github.com/ncm/selectable-socketpair

It differs from the previous version in many cosmetic details,
but substantially in that it avoids a sort of resource leak by
setting the SO_REUSEADDR option on the listening socket it
creates.  You might want to make the same change in the version
of socketpair used in Monotone, if indeed the code is still there.
