FLIPS issue

[Christian Helmuth]

Hi,

just a brief reply because I'm really busy until next Monday...

... oops, it's Tueasday and I did not finish the email - shame on me. I
hope it still helps you.

A grep brought up:

flips/lib/server/libflips_server.c:324:l4_int32_t l4vfs_net_io_setsockopt_component(CORBA_Object _dice_corba_obj,

As this is a library linked to the Flips server it calls setsockopt() of
libsocket_linux, which in turn calls sock_setsockopt() or
sock->ops->setsockopt() - in your case sock_setsockopt() in
net/core/sock.c:174 from original Linux 2.4 sources.

On client side it's:

1. l4vfs/lib/libc_backends/socket_io/socket.c:671:int setsockopt(int s, int * level, int optname, const void *optval,
2. l4vfs/lib/client/net_io.c:284:int l4vfs_setsockopt(l4_threadid_t server,
3. l4vfs/idl/OBJ-x86-l4v2/net_io-client.c:1363:l4vfs_net_io_setsockopt_call(const_CORBA_Object _dice_corba_obj,

I don't see why your call to setsockopt() should not end up in Flips.

Any progress with this issue in the last week?

In this case, this is no error and "okay for you". Sorry for ambiguity of
the message.
