- Subject: SO_REUSEADDR and multicast sockets with LuaSocket
- From: joseph stewart <joseph.stewart@...>

Hello Diego and list:
I've been playing with multicast sockets under C and Lua.
I just noticed that under OSX, the socket option SO_REUSEADDR doesn't
behave the same as Linux... that is I cannot open multiple listeners
on the same multicast address (group).
A quickly banged-out fix was to change SO_REUSEADDR in luasocket/src/
options.c to SO_REUSEPORT. In my local C code, I use the __APPLE__
define to make this conditionally compile under both Linux and OSX.
I'll see if I can find out why OSX has this behavior, but in the
meantime... this is a quick fix for me that I thought might help
someone else out there!
Blessings,
