[Caml-list] ipv6

[Caml-list] ipv6

[Yaron M. Minsky]

Any ideas if/when ipv6 support will make it into the Unix module?  I
know that there is a patch for the compiler that provides this
functionality, but for obvious reasons it would be more convenient to
have it in the standard distribution.

I did a lot of work on this a while back, but got bogged down with other
things. I think all that's left in what I was working on is adding
getaddrinfo and getnameinfo support. I might blow the dust off in it in a
bit, but it'll be a while, as I'm very busy with other things, and when it
comes to ocaml stuff, another ocaml-mysql release has priority. That should,
free time permitting, happen next week. Then I can hopefully dig out the
ipv6 stuff.

I did some things on ipv6 too. I made a patch for the Unix library :

http://oandrieu.nerim.net/ocaml/index.html#ipv6

There's getaddrinfo and getnameinfo support and some other things too.

It looks good to me, but I don't suppose it'd be possible to have it
extensible to other address families? Myself, i'd like getaddrinfo
etc to handle unix addresses transparently. Admittedly this isn't
supported in any C implementation I know of, but IMHO it'd be nice.

Anyone know if there are plans to include these patches in the standard
distribution?

Not to mention it would also be nice to get support for multicast, 
IPsec, ICMP, etc.

The way I have been approaching this problem is to ditch the sockets 
layer in the Unix library, and roll my own extensible sockets layer.  
That way I can support new address families, socket types, protocols 
and socket options without having to change the module signatures in 
the existing library.  As a bonus, I get more type safety in the socket 
interface and a couple of convenience functions for manipulating socket 
addresses more easily.

I doubt this approach will ever be used in the standard distribution, 
though.  I'm also not expecting to be able to release my code until 
probably after the next OCaml release-- whenever that is.

For Unix domain addresses, this is supported by the implementation given
by Richard Stevens in Unix Network Programming, with /unix or /local as
node name, and the path to the socket as service name. I have heard that
there were a similar system in the GNU libc, but I never checked.
