Hello.

Attached patch adds few constants to use with Socket API.

Hi! Thanks for the patch.

Your use of magic numbers in the Socket_Protocol_Family enum (and possibly the other enums) will compile cleanly everywhere, but those numbers are very unlikely to all be the same on all platforms. For instance, PF_INET6 is not 10 on mingw32, it's 23.

I would eventually like to add support for lots of other protocols (like sctp, netlink and tipc) which are only available on specific platforms. So I think we're probably going to have to keep a big list of constants and probe to see which ones are available at configure time...

Better patch

[bacek]

Hello.

I've updated patch to clearly separate Parrot's PIO_PF_* constants and system-specific PF_* constants.

Thanks, applied in r37827. I fixed some build issues, warnings and documentation stuff related to this in r37829.
