I have a bit of change half done to polish up PRIuSIZE, but the rest of the
branch is open pickings.
I've kicked off another 3.ALPHA-branch-matrix test to verify its working
everywhere, the last few runs failed in the purge code, so its hard to tell
if there was anything else later on.
Ok, will do.
First thing I'd like to address is SourceLayout-related: it scatters
src/* with "Config.h" files. Guess what happens when anything in any
of those directories includes "config.h" ? big mess.
So this morning I undid part of that, by renaming each of these Config
files to something including the directory name (e.g. ssl/Config.h ->
ssl/SslConfig.h).
This is all in revno 11113 of the mswin branch; it can be merged to
trunk any time IMO (hard to post a patch, it's mostly file renaming).
Oh, and I've hit a major snag with the windows port: TypedMsgHdr
inherits from msghdr, which is not available on MinGW. There are
several variants, but in order to try and understand what can be done
(and if I'm up to the task) I would need to understand what is the
purpose of this choice..
Alex can say better but AFAIK it was msghdr because the CMSG_*()
framework needs the fields it provides.
From what I have seen, the CMSG framework generates raw packet
*headers*. So TypedMsgHdr is a packet protocol implementation. msghdr
provides the addressing and length fields, TypedMsgHdr provides the
packet type ID, and its children provide formatted extension headers.
I have not yet figured out if the IPC packet is wrapped in UDP headers
or straight on top of IP. It is sent over essentially a raw socket..
