I have still some bugs, including a run after the last element
I already signaled: Visual Studio compiles by default everything
in a Release version (/W3) and Debug version (/W4 and a lot of
runtime checks). I have some networking issues too (Winsock is not
really fully compliant, SO_REUSEADDR for instance has a different
semantics).
BTW there are some important things I can't port:
- PF_UNIX sockets (I tried to replace them by IP sockets but
it could work only for unittests, for file descriptor sharing
I tried the socket descriptor duplication...)
- fork (I tried to use threads in place)
- auth (the security model is very different, a Windows expert is needed!)
