I'm -0 on adding them as they're really NOT portable. All the code I've seen to add similar functionality on non-unix platforms has been flawed in a number of ways and doesn't actuallt equal a 1 - to - 1 replacement for AF_LOCAL.
One thing is for sure, they can't be added to apr_socket_t as that would destroy our abstractions (in that apr_socket_t wouldn't then be usable across all platforms in the same manner). Anyway, knock yourselves out. david ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pier Fumagalli" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "APR Development List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, July 31, 2002 1:50 AM Subject: AF_UNIX sockets in APR... > While at OSCON, I chatted about having AF_UNIX support in APR with a bunch > of you, and I didn't hear any negative opinion from anyone... > > This would be so great for me, as it would ease my work with Java, in having > a generic IO layer a little bit better than the current Java.IO and with an > extensive support for all kinds of sockets... > > Are there strong feelings against it?
