ANN: Anet version 0.2

ANN: Anet version 0.2

[Reto Buerki]

Hi,

I'm proud to announce the first official release of Anet, a networking
library for the Ada programming language.

The project website is at [1], the current release 0.2 can be downloaded
from [2]. An example on how to use Anet to implement
client/server-applications is provided on the project page as well.

Anet currently provides the following features:

* BSD socket implementation
* High abstraction level
* Extendable socket type hierarchy
* Socket receiver tasks (Stream and Datagram)
* Ada type serialisation/deserialisation over sockets
* Supported socket families
  - IPv4 (AF_INET)
  - IPv6 (AF_INET6)
  - Packet (AF_PACKET)
  - UNIX domain (AF_UNIX)
  - Netlink (AF_NETLINK)
* Supported socket modes
  - Stream (TCP)
  - Datagram (UDP)
* Support for IPv4/IPv6 multicast
* UDP/IPv4 packet creation and validation
* Binding to the Linux Packet Filter (LPF) system

Kind regards,
- reto

Hi Reto,

Is Anet crossplatform or *nix specific? My guess would be *nix specific.

By the way, great work you and your collegues have been doing at codelabs.

Best regards,

Anet has been specifically written for Linux, the currently tested
architectures are shown here [1]. Other architectures or platforms need
some porting efforts.

In which platform are you interested in? Windows?

Hi,

I have developed some tools in order to ease my life for networking on
kFreeBSD/ MacOS X, and also to handle part of the little/big endian issues.

The code is available under monotone ada-france server, GPL licensed.

mtn -k "" pull mtn://www.ada-france.org?org.xavier-grave.tools.network
or
mtn -k "" pull www.ada-france.org org.xavier-grave.tools.network

depending on your monotone version.

Please feel free to use it. Comments, modifications are welcome !

Hi Reto,

Alas, I didn't have an actual application in mind, it was more a question of: What tools are there in the Ada toolbox?

Thank you for answering my question.

Best regards,
Åke Ragnar Dahlgren
