New issue 3114: SO_ATTACH_FILTER
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/3114/so_attach_filter
gpotter2:
Hi,
The following call is made on a raw socket:
```python
sock.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_FILTER, bp)
```
Where bp is a `bpf_program` C structure \( generated using libpcap’s
`compile_filter`\) that we recreated using
```python
You import ctypes
class bpf_insn(ctypes.Structure):
""""The BPF instruction data structure"""
_fields_ = [("code", ctypes.c_ushort),
("jt", ctypes.c_ubyte),
("jf", ctypes.c_ubyte),
("k", ctypes.c_int)]
class bpf_program(ctypes.Structure):
""""Structure for BIOCSETF"""
_fields_ = [('bf_len', ctypes.c_int),
('bf_insns', ctypes.POINTER(bpf_insn))]
```
This approach \(following Linux' docs for :
`SO_ATTACH_FILTER`[http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html](http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/socket.7.html)\)
works in both 2.7 and 3 versions of CPython, and fails with
> TypeError: expected bytes, got bpf\_program object
On Pypy3 \(7.1.1 beta0\) \(note actually all pypy versions\).
The full code is actually quite long, as it contains libpcap bindings, socket
creation…
To debug the issue, you can get this modified version of Scapy:
[https://github.com/secdev/scapy/pull/2336](https://github.com/secdev/scapy/pull/2336)
Make sure libpcap is installed and run `sudo pypy3 -m scapy` then type
`sniff(filter=”tcp”)`.
FTR on master, we have to carry around old compatibility functions to make this
work for PyPy using bytes based filters

which we would like to be able to drop.
Thanks for the support
