digitalmars.D.learn - Why the lack of networky bits in the standard library
- Matthew Caron <matt.caron redlion.net> Dec 10 2012
In C, if I want to parse a UDP packet, I need to build my own offsets
into data based off constants in:
net/ethernet.h
netinet/udp.h
Things like:
#define PACKET_DATA_OFFSET_DEFAULT (
ETHER_HDR_LEN + sizeof(struct iphdr) + \
sizeof(struct udphdr))
That would be easy to port to D, if I had access to those structs and
defines, but it doesn't seem like these have been ported over. Am I
missing something obvious?
Thanks.

We haven't bound all C/POSIX headers in druntime yet. There's no particular reason it isn't done other than nobody having gotten around to it. -- Alex Rønne Petersen alex lycus.org http://lycus.org
