Hi, does anyone know what is the state of Pharo's IPv6 support?
I've found some discussion from 2009/2010 talking about it and making changes to the VM, but it seems incomplete. Creating IPv6 socket seems to be supported on the VM side (and I had no failure when I modified the netType from 0 to 3 in Socket>>initialize:) https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platforms/unix/plugins/SocketPlugin/sqUnixSocket.c#L521 https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platforms/win32/plugins/SocketPlugin/sqWin32NewNet.c#L1325 However creating connection fails I guess here https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/src/plugins/SocketPlugin/SocketPlugin.c#L1151 And even if it didn't fail there, sqSocketConnectToPort accepts address in sqInt (4 bytes), and sets the type to AF_INET https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-vm/blob/master/opensmalltalk-vm/platforms/unix/plugins/SocketPlugin/sqUnixSocket.c#L736 Was the effort abandoned? Am I doing something wrong and it actually should work? Also NetNameResolver in Pharo is IPv4 only, but that's not an issue here. Thanks, Peter
