UDPDuplex Exception on Solaris 8

[Georg Soffel]

Hello all,

we have difficulties using the UDPDuplex class from commonc++1.0.9 on
solaris 8.

The problem is that during calling the constructor an excpetion is raised
with SocketError 12.
The reason is that during the constructor of UDPTransmit and UDPReceive the
disconnect function is called.
This function tries to disconnect by setting the address family to
AF_UNSPEC and is calling ::connect.
However, according to this summary
http://groups.google.de/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=xoav65pxeyii.fsf%40sun.com&rnum=4
and our observations on solaris the error EAFNOSUPPORT is returned, which
should be ignored.
But according to the following sniplet  an error is returned and an
exception is raised.

-- snip peer.cpp UDPTransmit::disconnect() and UDPReceive::disconnect()

      memset(&addr, 0, len);
#ifndef WIN32
      addr.sin_family = AF_UNSPEC;
#else
      addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
      addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_NONE;
#endif
      if(::connect(so, (sockaddr *)&addr, len))
            return connectError();
      return errSuccess;

-- snip peer.cpp

Is it possible to ignore EAFNOSUPPORT and return success in that case?


And second I posted a bug report about incomming data loss on Thu, 8 May
2003
with detailed explantions abuot the source of the bug and possible
solutions.
Nobody gave any feedback till now. What will happen to this bug?
