Harvest away: the attached adds the necessary stuff to SocketPlugin.
The result should be completely backward compatible.
The platform code for Unix is in SVN. For MacOS I guess John will
just copy and paste as usual (and the result should work: I have
tested the Unix code under Darwin).
To test after adding platform support code you'll need to grab at
least SocketAddress, SocketAddressInformation (assuming Mike didn't
change the names) and the new primitive methods in Socket from the
OLPC image. (If anyone wants the lightweight versions of these that
I originally sent to Mike, which are sufficient to test basic TCP and
UDP over IP6 provided your machine's IP stack supports v6, then just
let me know.)
There might still be a problem with some illegal arguments not being
caught. If/when this stuff looks like moving into the mainstream
I'll happily investigate further and harden the checks.
(I thought about x-posting to vm-dev but all the relevant people read
this list anyway.)
Cheers,
Ian
