This looks like the worst possible solution. Sure, it reduces the complexity of a possible libmpdclient solution, but that complexity has not disappeared - it is just being moved (and multiplied) to every single application. And it doesn't even have much to do with our current problem. Our problem is that we didn't use the proper data type for sockets on WIN32, and we can't fix this without modifying the ABI. Diverting the API (not the ABI) is just a kludge to move the responsibility to somebody else (those who didn't make the mistake in the first place). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
