Unix-Domain sockets on Windows 10 #15

Closed fpagliughi closed 1 year ago

fpagliughi commented 5 years ago

I recently stumbled on a Microsoft blog claiming that some version of Windows 10 now supports Unix-domain sockets: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/af_unix-comes-to-windows/

I have no experience with it, nor do I have access to a PC with a recent version of Windows 10. But if anyone has tried this and/or sees a desire for it, I don't think it would be too difficult to implement. Maybe we could create a CMake option for SOCKPP_BUILD_AF_UNIX, or something like that, and have it default true on Linux and false on Windows.

Yeah, I'm probably never gonna do this.
