Hi all, It seems ECORE_CON_LOCAL_* is broken on Windows given reports on efreetd not working there, the code is very different from other protocols, see ecore_con_local_win32.c
Since I will replace Ecore_Con_Server with a wrapper on top of Efl_Net, I'm wondering what to do... I don't have a windows machine or windows development environment to write a new Efl_Net set of class for it (if you do, please talk to me so I can get an SSH access). More than that, looking at local_win32.c I wonder how that would work, since unlike UNIX path, it doesn't encode the service name/port in the path, but the process id (I guess it's like the PID), thus one process won't find the other... That's to say that legacy compatibility is not an issue in that case. Then what I propose to write an Efl_Net_Local_Fallback that uses a local path to encode a localhost (127.0.0.1) TCP port. Then the logic would be: - server: bind(127.0.0.1:0), getsockname() to check the port, fprintf(fp, "%hu\n", ntohs(addr.sin_port))... \n is used to avoid partial writes (unlikely) to file. - dialer (client): fopen() + fread() + verify trailing \n, then connect to 127.0.0.1:$port - path is encoded like in UNIX, just "/" is replaced with "\" for windows. "~" is also handled like in Windows, such as User\username... Then it would provide some usable solution where a native local communication is not available... Of course this is fully testable on UNIX as well, then we don't rely on Windows to test it.
