No emulations. The policy is roughly this: - if the constant is supported by most platforms it can be added to a platform independant unit (like sockets) with a "platform;" modifier, and it will not be there or emulated for units that don't support it. - if the constant is only supported by one platform it must move to a platform specific unit. Actually it is on my todo to further clean up the sockets unit that way, marking OS specific functionality that might not be implemented with Platform;. Bootstrapping issues prevented large scale adding of such modifiers till now. (and actually for a time MSG_NOSIGNAL was not there in FreeBSD either, till a later revision added (documented?) the functionality. So it seems to be not an universal constant) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
