with PR #130 this gets the problem:

luajit -lsyscall

Yes sorry, I merged in FreeBSD support just recently, which disrupted things a bit. It should make things easier though, as most of the missing OSX stuff can probably just be copied directly from FreeBSD as they are largly the same, with just a few tweaks...

[justincormack]

I have pushed a lot of fixes, not quite there yet but the tests run...

[justincormack]

OK, more fixes pushed. The largest issue now is that 'ls' is not working as getdirentries is broken. There are some warnings in the man page about this so I need to check the correct fix.

[lipp]

Now I get this:

bunsen:ljsyscall preuss$ luajit -e "require'syscall'.socket('inet','stream,nonblock')"
luajit: ./syscall/syscalls.lua:169: bad argument #2 to 'socket' (cannot convert 'nil' to 'int')

[justincormack]

I changed the tests to not have that in. OSX does not have a nonblock flags for sockets, so you can't use 'stream,nonblock' just stream and set the socket to nonblock after...

[justincormack]

Fixed all except one of the tests - just some issues with the pty calls to fix now.

[lipp]

thanks for pointing osx nonblock issue out.

[lipp]

We are getting closer :) Now I get this:

luajit: /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/syscall/syscalls.lua:216: attempt to index field 'SO' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
    /usr/local/share/lua/5.1/syscall/syscalls.lua:216: in function 'setsockopt'

[justincormack]

OK, added the SO constants and some tests for setsockopt and getsockopt...

[lipp]

:+1: I am trying to do node like implementation of sockets etc. Currently I am evaluating using your great ljsyscall. Target is an embedded powerpc system. I am developing under OSX though.

https://github.com/lipp/nodish/tree/use-ljsyscall

[lipp]

BTW: I looked for TCP_NODELAY option and cannot grep it. Do you have a hint?

I tried the obvious:

sock:setsockopt('socket','nodelay',true)

[justincormack]

Have added those as #134 - had missed them...

[justincormack]

I guess you will be wanting kqueue on OSX? Had been meaning to sort that out - its there for NetBSD so means moving it to the generic BSD section instead and filling in the structs that should be similar...

[lipp]

I don't think so (yet). So far I am happy with lua-ev as event loop.

In the future it might be nice to have ALL the stuff (poll,etc) just by using ljsyscall and luajit.

[justincormack]

Well I added it anyway as I had been meaning to, and fixed the other issue, so all tests passing.
