Hi,
here is a little status report (if you did not read CVS):
I fixed the select() bug and sockaddr_in BONE incompatibility and now
many apps finally work. A list of tested apps:
Net+: works
Vision (R5+BONE): works
BeShare (R5): worked, but only quick test
ping (ours): works
ping (Be's):
Does not work. Incompatible ICMP API? Not a real problem.
Mozilla & Firefox:
Does not work because connect() seems to return an error for
non-blocking sockets. Don't know why.
The new R5 versions immediately exited on my machine.
ssh:
A downloaded version from BeBits did not work with R5, but with BONE it
had no problems. After a recompile it worked with R5, too.
CVS:
Works at least for small transfers. Did not test if whole repository
checkout works again.
ftp (R5, Be Inc.):
Does not work. Seems to hang in recv() sometimes. Cannot be killed
because thread entered kernel.
TODOs:
Fix the recv() bug that causes ftp to hang.
Fix connect() for nonblocking sockets.
Make thread-safe or port FreeBSD's stack. ;)
I talked to the FreeBSD people and they say that IPv4 is thread-safe,
but fine-grained locking is still to be implemented and IPsec and IPv6
are not thread-safe, yet. This will be done in the next few months.
When fixing bugs it might help to know that our structs might be
bigger/smaller than the R5 or BONE structs. This was often the cause for
buffer overflows in our code.
Bye,
Waldemar
