Hi all, I did my first bit of coding on win32 last month, and was disgusted to find no socketpair. Cygwin's socketpair (at least the version I found) seems to use _pipe underneath, which as I understand it is not suitable as an argument to select(). So, I wrote my own:
http://cantrip.org/socketpair.c which as you may observe is licensed compatibly with cygwin. Use it if you like, with whatever argument-list changes it needs to conform to POSIX. (Apparently AF_LOCAL/PF_LOCAL, normally passed to socketpair, isn't defined in win32, but I presume cygwin can supply that.) I'm not subscribed to this list, so copy to me anything you think I should see. I would welcome notes hinting at which release of cygwin this gets installed in, if any (e.g. "I put it in today") and any problems encountered.
