Comment:
Hi! Thanks for the patch.
Your use of magic numbers in the Socket_Protocol_Family enum (and possibly
the other enums) will compile cleanly everywhere, but those numbers are
very unlikely to all be the same on all platforms. For instance, PF_INET6
is not 10 on mingw32, it's 23.
I would eventually like to add support for lots of other protocols (like
sctp, netlink and tipc) which are only available on specific platforms.
So I think we're probably going to have to keep a big list of constants
and probe to see which ones are available at configure time...
