Support for unix abstract sockets

[hexfusion]

Feature Request

Rust added abstract namespace support recently[1] and adding support for tokio would open up support for tonic[2]. Thanks in advance for your consideration.

Hmm, this might need to be added to mio first. That said, you can already do this today before support is added to Tokio by using Tokio's from_std function.

Sure, it can be done by using an unstable feature, forcing you into nighty :(

The problem is that there is no progression to get https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85410 into FCP state. I posted an FCP progression question at the issue recently, also offering my - help if possible. but no response, so removed it after a few days. This seem to be a low interest feuture, i can understand that. But its still a nice to have thing :)

If nothing else works, it is still possible to create the socket yourself using manual libc calls (possibly via nix) and converting it into a Tokio socket.

I'm not sure what UDS crate you're referring to, and whatever it is, it isn't what I suggested.

The rust lang SocketAddr::from_abstract_name() became stable on 1.70.0. Support this might bump tokio's minimum rust version.

It looks like it is available in mio on older rustc versions.
