[Spread-users] spread-5.0.0rc1 : Solaris setsockopt issue

[Martin Schu]

Hi John,

we are very glad to see the new version, 5.0.0 RC1, of The Spread Toolkit.
Apparently you've not only added IPv6 support but did further polishing,
e.g. improved logging and error handling.

We've tested 5.0.0rc1 in our environment and observed some problems.

In our Sun/Oracle/Solaris environment spread 5.0.0rc1 fails during startup
saying:

"DL_init_channel_gen: problem (22: Invalid argument) in setsockopt of
multicast ttl = 1; ignore on Windows"

In spread-src-5.0.0rc1:libspread-util/src/data_link.c you made some comment:

" * TODO: check on sizeof setsockopt types across platforms (i.e. -
Sun: char vs. int)"

This leads to my assumption that you are aware of that issue, aren't
you? Are you planning to fix it?

Kind regards,

Martin
