socket abstraction: slirp_os_socket
Use a typedef to abstract socket identifiers because Windows just has to
be different (SOCKET type.) Moreover, SOCKET on Win64 is 64-bits and
generates copious type slicing warnings.
Other related changes:
- Explicitly cast curtime's assignment to unsigned int to tamp down on
type slicing warning.
- Ensure that errno.h is always included. Important for Windows, which
would otherwise #define errno as WSAGetLastError(); errno.h #define-s
errno as a function, i.e., "*errno()".
- Export slirp_inet_aton() utility function for Win32/64.
- tcpx_listen()
- WSASetLastError() unnecessary.
- Use have_valid_socket() to check socket in error cleanup code
(vs. "s >= 0").
libslirp is a user-mode networking library used by virtual machines, containers or various tools.
A C compiler, meson and glib2 development libraries.
(see also .gitlab-ci.yml DEPS variable for the list of dependencies on Fedora)
You may build and install the shared library with meson:
meson build ninja -C build install
And configure QEMU with --enable-slirp=system to link against it.
(QEMU may build with the submodule static library using --enable-slirp=git)
Unfortunately, there are no automated tests available.
You may run QEMU -net user linked with your development version.
Feel free to open issues on the project issues page.
You may clone the gitlab project and create a merge request.
Contributing with gitlab allows gitlab workflow, tracking issues, running CI etc.
Alternatively, you may send patches to slirp@lists.freedesktop.org mailing list.
We intend to use libtool's versioning for the shared libraries and use SemVer for project versions.
For the versions available, see the tags on this repository.
