[usocket-devel] Re: IPv6 support in usocket

[Tomas Hlavaty]

Hi all,

just in case it might be somehow interesting, we've had iolib.usocket 
system for quite some time in 
http://src.knowledgetools.de/tomas/winapi/index.html It is a simple 
usocket compatibility layer on top of iolib (also works on Windows 
winapi 32 and 64 bit).  Not sure what the ipv6 status is though as we 
don't use that.  IIRC I still need to implement translation of iolib 
conditions to usocket ones, but as a precondition for that is unifying 
conditions from iolib posix and winapi backends.  Otherwise, hunchentoot 
and cl-postgres work well on posix and windows using this compatibility 
layer.

Cheers,

Tomas
