[usocket-devel] [patch] Networking: bind to local-host/local-port when connect

[Chun Tian (binghe)]

Hi, CMUCL & rtoy

CMUCL's networking API do not have standalone BIND function. And it's  
EXT:CONNECT-TO-INET-SOCKET and EXT:CREATE-INET-SOCKET function do not  
have any LOCAL-HOST/LOCAL-PORT argument. So a client socket is  
IMPOSSIBLE to bind to specific local host/port when CONNECT to remote  
address.

I wrote a loadable CMUCL patch, which create a new function BIND-INET- 
SOCKET, and add LOCAL-HOST, LOCAL-PORT keyword arguments to above two  
functions to support this feature. I think it's quite safe to merge it  
in next CMUCL version.

Please review it.

Regards,
